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.

American Americana/indie rock band, Grant Lee Buffalo, was founded in 1991 in Los Angeles, California. Led by the talented Grant-Lee Phillips on vocals and guitar, the band also featured Paul Kimble on bass, Joey Peters on drums, Bill Bonk on bass, and Phil Parlapiano on keyboards, organ and accordion. After disbanding in 1998, they reunited in 2011 for a small tour. With their unique blend of genres and captivating performances, Grant Lee Buffalo has left an indelible mark on the music industry.

Back In Stock

Originally released in 1994, Mighty Joe Moon is the second release from
Grant Lee Buffalo

Appearing in the midst of the grunge movement, the trio took raw emotion and
embraced it with just as much abrasion but toned it down into a more singer/
songwriter tone, thanks to Grant Lee Phillips' mix of glaring guitars and hushed
vocals, that was unlike anything else at the time.
With a nod to its predecessor, it is a more complex affair drawing in the listener
on a more personal level. The fire burning in him, Phillips blazes through the
themes of politics, love, the human spirit, and ends the album with a very chilling
take on his own version of the old hymn Rock of Ages.


This newly remastered version is pressed on 180 gram coloured vinyl and is presented
in a gatefold sleeve.
