Loma Vista Recordings is the label named as exclusive licensee, not owner, of the Sampa the Great recordings released from April 2022 onward. The phonographic line on those releases reads that the recording is owned by Sampa The Great Pty Ltd and is “under exclusive license to Loma Vista Recordings”, followed by the words “A Concord Label Group Release”.
That credit structure is the whole of what the catalogue documents establish about the relationship. An exclusive licence conveys the right to exploit a recording for a term, in a territory, on terms agreed between the parties. It is not an assignment and it does not move the copyright. Neither the term, the territory, the royalty rate, any advance nor any option structure is disclosed on any release or in any source fetched for this profile.
Every Loma Vista release in the Sampa the Great catalogue read for this profile carries a barcode in the 888072 GS1 prefix: 888072447660 and 888072451940 on As Above, So Below, 888072531338 on its deluxe edition, 888072818729 on the single “Simon Says” and 00888072744646 on “GOAT”. A shared barcode prefix identifies the party that registered the product, which corroborates a single issuing company behind the Loma Vista releases and is consistent with the “A Concord Label Group Release” wording in the credit. It does not, by itself, prove the corporate ownership of the label, and Concord’s own website could not be fetched by this desk.
Loma Vista’s own website carries the Nu Zamrock campaign and describes Sampa as releasing music “via Loma Vista Recordings”. It does not describe a signing, a licence or an ownership position anywhere in the content fetched. The label’s public language is silent on the rights structure that its own metadata states.
One release in the catalogue inverts the pattern and should not be read as part of it. The single “GOAT”, dated 19 September 2025, reads “Universal Studios, under license to Loma Vista Recordings”. On that recording the owner named is a film studio and Sampa The Great Pty Ltd is not named at all.
