Roto Records was a record label based in Lincoln, Nebraska. The name "Roto" was chosen simply because "it [a record] goes round and round."[1]

The label's first releases were in 1956 by local artists Bobby Lowell and The Rock-A-Boogie Boys.[2][3] The label continued releasing recordings by Lowell and other local artists through the mid-1980s.[4]
