Arc

Arc seems to be one of the many labels related to the Rite pressing operation. Arc had several numbering series which corresponded with either musical style. Arc shares the same Rite connections as the Gateway label (which specialized in budget line cover recordings of current hits).

The 3000 numbering was R&B, 5000 for budget cover recordings of current hits, 7000 devoted to country, 8000 for popular, and 9000 for rock and roll. These are just guesses, until the 'true' story can be told - if ever.
