Soma Records (U.S. label)
- Soma Records (U.S. label)
Soma Records was an American record company based in Minneapolis, Minnesota and owned by wholesale record distributor Amos Heilicher. The Soma name was "Amos" spelled backwards. Started in 1957, Soma mainly recorded Polka music, old-time, country and western and jazz groups. Their first hit was Bobby Vee's 1959 'Suzie Baby", which was a giant regional hit before Liberty bought up the master and issued it nationally.
Among the hits released by Soma were "Mule Skinner Blues" by The Fendermen, Liar, Liar by The Castaways, Run, Run, Run by The Gestures and Surfin' Bird by The Trashmen. The latter record was on the Garrett label and was distributed by Soma. Soma recorded many local and regional rock groups during this time as well as distributing other smaller labels (Garrett, Bangar, Golden Wing, to name a few).
The Soma label lasted until 1967 when the co-owned record distributing company was merged into Pickwick Records. [http://www.geocities.com/marcapreguntas/soma.htm]
