Arc Records, a subsidiary of Arc Sound Company Ltd., was established in Toronto in 1958 by Philip G. Anderson. At first a record distributor, Arc Sound began releasing recordings under its own Arc Records label in 1959 and purchased the Precision Pressing Co. in 1961.

Under the direction of Anderson, its president, and Vice-President Bill Gilliland, Arc Records entered into a contract with US Hit Records and released a series of pop singles albums under the name Hit Parade (1963–64) that specialized in regional artists and tribute albums. Among the earliest of Arc's LPs were those by the popular Newfoundland singers Omar Blondahl and Dick Nolan. Later LPs, some for Arc's Caribou and International Artists labels, presented other Newfoundlanders, including Burt Cuff, Harry Hibbs, Gordon Pinsent, Ray Walsh and John White.

In 1969, Arc Sound and its subsidiaries came under the control of the Canadian-owned holding company AHED Music Corporation Ltd., to expand AHED’s guitar and amplifier manufacturing business to include music distribution. Arc and AHED ceased operations in 1986.
