Articles I've read show that Denmark had less access to foreign popular music through radio and television forcing UK and US companies to arrange touring shows to advertise their artists. The Danes also made use of a nationwide free library service that no doubt reduced their home record company's sales enormously. Big chain stores could import best selling foreign records and have them for sale before the appropriate Danish record company even had them for sale. Maybe someone from Denmark can explain the import taxation that was highest in all Scandinavia, something to do with Luxury Goods possibly. It meant that private importers could order boxes of records directly from Decca or EMI..tax paid at source making it much cheaper for them I should think that NCB markings on UK pressed record could be because of this
