There was another American Record Company that was active in the 30s. Dogru144 ( talk) 19:45, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
This appears very murky and doubtful based on an online search for sources whose critical consideration of such niceties might be relied on. I am going to post the question about ARC's actual name, with the best evidence I've been able to find (unfortunately nothing slam-dunk, but enough to create more doubt in my mind), over at Talk:American Record Corporation, where it belongs.

I don't find it "murky" at all. Look at the label at the bottom of this page: http://dismuke.org/how/prev3-05.html This was a label that the 1930s ARC used for products not meant for general public consumption, and as you can see the "C" stands for "Corporation," not "Company." "ARCo" is the agreed upon nomenclature among collectors for American Record Company listings; the label operated in direct defiance to the flat disc patents and was eventually brought down by them by 1908. ARC was a combine of labels that formed in 1929 and throughout the depression bought up bigger labels as they failed; despite the value of the contracts of the artists thereon, ARC was a small company. There is just no relationship between ARCo and ARC. Also, the revival of the ARC logo by Maurice White in 1979 did not re-establish the ARC company; he may have picked the name ARC because it was an imprint that Columbia Records already owned and would not need to file a new trademark for. Again; no relationship to the older company.Pinikadia 18:14, 20 August 2012 (UTC)Pinikadia — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pinikadia ( talk • contribs)
