American Record Corporation (ARC), also referred to as American Record Company, American Recording Corporation, or (erroneously) as ARC Records, was an American record company.

Music West Records was an independent record company founded by Allan Kaplan on December 1985 in San Rafael, California.  The company was initially formed to promote Ray Lynch.

According to Gary Chappell, the manufacturer for Music West, the artists originated independently, claiming that the company's idea "has a statement that comes directly from the Gallo Record Company is the largest (and oldest independent) record label in South Africa.  It is based in Johannesburg, South Africa, and is owned by Times Media Group (formerly Johnnic Communications and Avusa).  The current Gallo Record Company is a hybrid of two rival South African record labels between the 1940s and 1980s: the original Gallo Africa (1926–85) and G.R.C. (Gramophone Record Company, 1939–85).  In 1985 Gallo Africa acquired G.R.C.; as a result, Gallo Africa became known as "Gallo-GRC".

Released in 2011, It consists of two CDs.  The first disc is a never released album that Gallagher recorded in San Francisco in December 1977.  The album was to be a major shift for Gallagher.  Rather than producing it himself he worked with Elliot Mazer a successful producer who had a long track record with artists such as Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, and The Band.  At the last minute -- causing great distress to his manager and brother Donal and to his record company -- Gallagher decided to just pull the record.  In an interview Gallagher stated "it wasn't because of the material or the musicians or anything like that.  It was a song thing that I didn't think on the technical side everything worked.  So I scrapped the thing" After scrapping the album Gallagher reworked his band firing all the musicians except the bass player and hiring a new drummer.  This new Gallagher power trio re-recorded the San Francisco songs with Gallagher producing and released them as Photo-Finish.  Shortly before his death, Rory reportedly gave Donal permission to eventually release the original San Francisco versions of the songs if they were remixed.  Donal had his son Daniel remix the songs in 2011.  The second disc is a live performance also recorded in San Francisco in December 1979.
