Loma Records was a Warner Brothers subsidiary run by Bob Krasnow. The original office in 1964
overlooked Loma Avenue, hence the label name. It was started as an entry into the R&B market. The
label lasted until 1968.
The label had some interesting artists, but most of them didn't make it to LP status until the release of
the two-CD set in 1995 called The Best of Loma Records. Several of James Brown's backup
group, the Famous Flames, recorded solo efforts for Loma. There were also hard-hitting soul vocals by
J.J. Jackson, Linda Jones and Lorraine Ellison. Ike and Tina Turner had some tunes on the label (one of
the seemingly dozens of labels for whom they recorded). There were Philadelphians Ben Aiken and the
Three Degrees. They had the Enchanters and Lonnie Youngblood. And the Olympics had the original
version on Loma of "Good Lovin'," which the Young Rascals snapped up. But apparently, it wasn't
enough to survive, as they made very little impact on the best seller charts, and Warner Brothers
eventually lost interest.
