1960s soul label from Detroit, Michigan, founded by Mike Hanks. The label had only two releases. One is an instrumental of Sam and Dave's 1967 Stax hit, "Soul Man," credited to John R (actually John Richbourg) and featuring "Tony Newton on Bass" - a rare occasion when a musician is credited on the record label. The other U.S.D. record is Tobi Lark's seductive, mid-tempo song, "Lots of Heart," that was probably cut in 1966, the year she appeared on Wheelsville's Review.
