OKra Records was a Columbus, Ohio-based independent record label established in the late 1980s.[1] It was founded by Dan Dow, the former guitarist for the Gibson Bros.[2] and the former owner of Used Kids Records, which he “co-founded” with Ron House (of Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments and Great Plains) in 1986.[3] According to Cordelia's Dad drummer Peter Irvine, OKra was run almost entirely by Dow himself.[4] The label stopped putting out records in 1993.[1][5]
