Westbound is an independent music label that was created in Detroit, Michigan by a421732 in December 1968. Specializing in R&B, Soul, Funk, and Disco, Westbound gained recognition for its talented artists such as Funkadelic and Ohio Players. However, financial troubles led to the label's disappearance at the end of the 70s.

Throughout its existence, Westbound had various distribution deals with notable companies. From 1970 to 1975, it partnered with Chess/Janus Records for distribution. Then from 1975 to 1976, Westbound collaborated with 20th Century-Fox Record Corp. The label later worked with Atlantic from 1977 to 1979 and had a joint release with Elektra Records in 1983.

In terms of labeling on releases, Westbound went through some changes over the years. Between 1969 and 1976, the primary label name on releases was Westbound Records. From 1977 to 1983, it simply became Westbound. In the early '90s, Ace Records based in the UK took on reissuing all of Westbound's catalog along with unreleased material under the primary label name of Westbound Records.

in 1972 as the line-up of Funkadelic that had made the first three albums, Funkadelic, Free Your Mind And Your Ass Will Follow and Maggot Brain collapsed in on themselves under the pressures of touring and nefarious substances, some members shuttled back and forth between Detroit and Toronto and kept recording.

One of the projects that was embarked upon was an LP by a group called U.S. 

A single "Baby I Owe You Something Good" / "I Miss My Baby" appeared that year credited to U.S. Music With Funkadelic. 

An album reached test-pressing stage, but until now no more has been heard of it. 

U.S. (which stood for United Soul) were from George Clinton's home town of Plainfield, New Jersey and included future Funkadelic members Gary Shider, Cordell and Larry Mosson. They recorded in Detroit and Toronto and the album was produced by Bernie Worrell, Ray Davies and Fuzzy Haskins; it featured many Funkadelic musicians. 

The original album of five tracks includes some prime era Funkadelic grooves including the outrageous "Rat Kiss The Cat On The Navel" and "Be What You Is" which are both uptempo psychedelic funk, as well as the wonderful gospel-imbued vocals of Shider on "I Miss My Baby" and the opener "This Broken Heart".&nbsp;
