The roots of Chrysalis stretch back to a tiny flat in West London in 1967, when former university social secretaries, Chris Wright and Terry Ellis, linked their flair for managing and booking bands to form the Ellis Wright Agency. After trying to release their bands' records via other companies, they decided to start their own label.

In 1968, they signed a licensing deal with Island Records with the proviso that if their acts achieved an agreed number of hits, they would be awarded a label of their own. Within a year, this tally was reached and Chrysalis Records was born.

Over the years, Chrysalis went through various ownership changes. In 1985, Chris Wright bought out Terry Ellis and later sold the label to EMI in 1991. EMI was then acquired by Universal Music Group in 2012 before selling the Parlophone Label Group (including Chrysalis) to Warner Music Group in 2013.

Terry Hall was a British singer/songwriter known for his sharp wit and musical talent. He first gained recognition as the lead singer of The Specials, before forming Fun Boy Three in 1981 and The Colourfield in 1984. In the 1990s, he released two solo albums and collaborated with David A. Stewart as Vegas. Terry also worked with various artists such as Mushtaq, Lightning Seeds, and Dub Pistols. Despite his dour image, Terry's music showcased his immense creativity and passion.
Born on March 19, 1959 in Coventry, England, Terry Hall sadly passed away on December 18, 2022. Throughout his career, he continuously pushed boundaries and experimented with different genres to create unique sounds that resonated with audiences worldwide.
Since reuniting with The Specials in 2009, Terry Hall continued to captivate fans with his powerful performances and timeless music. His contributions to the music industry will forever be remembered and cherished by both old and new generations of music lovers.

Unreleased, 1972 Warner Brothers album. Part mellifluous singer-songwriter album; part scorching template / unrivaled progenitor for a sound that has come to be known as "jam band." The musicians on this phenomenal album seem to have been cherry-picked from a rock and roll fan's dreams: Nicky Hopkins (legendary for his piano work with The Rolling Stones) plays some of the most fiery work of his career. Guitarists John Cipollina (Quicksilver Messenger Service) and Greg Douglas (Country Weather, Steve Miller Band) contribute all shades of electric guitar, from sweet, sustained melodies, to epic, dueling solos. Bassist Lonnie Turner (Steve Miller Band) plays funky and tastefully on the album's first side. The drums are played alternately by Spencer Dryden (Jefferson Airplane) and Prairie Prince (future Tubes). Side two features Pete Sears (Rod Stewart) on bass and a post-Santana, pre-Journey Neal Schon on electric guitar. Terry Dolan's songs are instantly memorable, from out-and-out rocking to beautiful ballads. His voice manages to be strong and supple at the same time. Backing him on half of the tracks are The Pointer Sisters (a year before their own debut album), adding layers of gorgeous, Gospel-inspired harmonies. This record is going to blow a lot of minds. David Fricke, Senior Writer of Rolling Stone, upon hearing the unreleased Terry Dolan album for the first time, said: "The Terry Dolan record is a historic gem incredible that Warner Bros. left it on the vine."
