Chrysalis

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.

Back In Stock

Newly Independent Chrysalis Records continues to repackage and refurbish the classic albums released upon the label – this time Blodwyn Pig – Ahead Rings Out. Mick Abrahams was one of the original members and songwriters within Jethro Tull and recorded their first album This Was with them before leaving to start his own – more blues / progressive based band Blodwyn Pig in 1969. Ahead Rings Out charted in the top ten upon release in the UK.

LP - The vinyl is repressed for the first time in 20 years. Transferred from the original 1969 ¼” production master using a Studer A80 Tape Machine, cut on a Neumann VMS 80 with a sx74 Cutter Head, cutting amps, SAL 748.
