Funkadelic is an American band that rose to prominence in the 1970s, playing a pivotal role in shaping the funk music culture of that decade. Led by George Clinton, Funkadelic and its sister act played a significant part in establishing the genre's unique sound and style.

With their innovative approach to music, Funkadelic became a driving force behind the funk movement. Their groovy beats and soulful melodies captivated audiences worldwide, earning them a well-deserved spot in the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1997 as performers.

Today, Funkadelic's legacy lives on as their influential music continues to inspire new generations of artists and fans alike. Experience the timeless sounds of this iconic band through our curated collection of their albums and merchandise available at our e-commerce store.

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.

Ace Records Spotlight

Back In Stock

Funkadelic's self-titled debut may have touched upon drug-induced acid rock, but on their 1970 follow-up, Free Your Mind and Your Ass Will Follow, the band blows the door off its hinges. Look no further than the album-opening ten-minute title track - perhaps the most spaced out composition witnessed by rock and roll since the rolling stones' late-'60s psychedelic-phase - for the proof.

Tracks such as "Friday Night", "August 14th", "Funky Dollar Bill", and "I Wanna Know if it's Good to You?" are all highlights, the band locking into one killer funk groove after another. The haunting and tranquil "Eulogy And Light" closes the album with a fusion of backwards singing and gospel-like speech, a fitting end to Funkadelic's most 'out there' recording.
