Detroit’s legendary Westbound Records has teamed with vinyl specialist label Org Music to re-launch with a series of remastered, celebrated funk and soul albums. Founded in 1968 by Armen Boladian, Westbound proved to the world that thrilling sounds were still coming from Detroit, after Motown left the city. From humble beginnings, this important independent label soon grew to be a powerhouse that influenced music worldwide.
Eramus Hall‘s 1980 debut album Your Love Is My Desire is among the most sought-after records of the modern soul era, coveted by DJs and record collectors alike, with rare copies of the original pressing selling for up to $900. The soul/funk group only recorded the one album for Detroit’s Westbound Records, home of funk heavyweights Funkadelic and Ohio Players, before moving to Capitol for their second and final LP in 1984. This long overdue reissue marks the third release in Westbound’s remaster series with Org Music.
“Fans of smooth late-’70s soul will love to have this album… Impeccable arrangements and soaring voices.” – AllMusic
“A funky musical unit deftly avoiding the disco trap of the day (for the most part) and exploring modern sounds through a somewhat quirky – but still funky – lens… A great group of musicians and composers who really took advantage of their shot in the studio.” – Tracking Angle
