Westbound

Profile:
Created in Detroit by Armen Boladian in 1969 serving up R&B, Soul, Funk and then Disco. This independent label gained success with popular groups like Funkadelic and Ohio Players before disappearing, due to financial troubles, at the end of the 70s.

Between 1970 and 1975 Westbound had a distribution deal with Chess / Janus Records.
Between 1975 and 1976 Westbound was distributed through 20 Century-Fox Record Corp.
From 1977 to 1979 Westbound was distributed through Atlantic.

Since the nineties Westbound records have been reissued by Westbound Records, Inc., a sub-label of Ace Records (UK).
