Chrysalis

Rock-Pop

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.

This 180 gram audiophile edition contains two bonus tracks on Side Two: 'Give It Up' and 'The Man Who Don't Believe In Love', a track originally penned by Marv Johnson. 'Gettin Ready' (1966) by The Temptations marked the transition of the group from having Smokey Robinson as its main producer, with new producer Norman Whitfield taking over Robinson's position. On the instrumentation you'll hear the marvelous Funk Brothers, with their defining Motown sound. Two #1 R&amp;B hit singles, one from each producer, are included: 'Get Ready' from Robinson with Eddie Kendricks on lead, and 'Ain't Too Proud To Beg' from Whitfield with David Ruffin on lead. Also included is the original version of 'Too Busy Thinking About My Baby', which would be re-recorded as a hit for Marvin Gaye in 1969.
