Roto Records was a record label based in Lincoln, Nebraska. The name "Roto" was chosen simply because "it [a record] goes round and round."[http://www.rockabillyhall.com/bobbylowell1.html Rockabilly Hall of Fame]
The label's first releases were in 1956 by local artists Bobby Lowell and The Rock-a-Boogie Boys.[http://www.starcityscene.com/EncyclopediaG-N.html "Encyclopedia of Lincoln Bands"][http://www.nebrocks.org/bands.asp?band=17 "Bobby Lowell," Nebraska Music Hall of Fame] The label continued releasing recordings by Lowell and other local artists through the mid-1980s.[http://www.bermanmusicfoundation.org/rock.htm "Rock 'n' Roll History", Berman Music Foundation]
