Original Eight Mile: Westbound's 40th/ Various - ORIGINAL EIGHT MILE: WESTBOUND'S 40TH (Various Artists)

This compilation shows off the many (soulful) facets of the Westbound label. Westbound was started by Detroit distributor Armen Boladian as an outlet for local talent in a Detroit seriously depleted of labels in the wake of Motown's dominance. Not only did he turn out some number one hits but, in Funkadelic, he had one of the most influential groups of the last 40 years. 22 track collection featuring Ohio Players, Funkadelic, Denise LaSalle, Dennis Coffey, Fuzzy Haskins and many more.
