Independent label: Chrysalis Records was a British record label that was created in 1969. The name was both a reference to the pupal stage of a butterfly and a combination of its founders names, Chris Wright and Terry Ellis. It started as the Ellis-Wright Agency. Chrysalis was formed through a licensing deal with Chris Blackwell's Island Records based on the success of bands like Jethro Tull, Cat Stevens, Robin Trower and Procol Harum, which were promoted by the label. Jethro Tull signed with Reprise Records in the United States, which led Chrysalis to an American distribution deal with Reprise's parent company, Warner Bros. Records. This lasted from 1972 until U.S. Chrysalis switched to independent distribution in 1976. PolyGram handled international distribution and Festival Records covered Australia and New Zealand. Towards the end of the 1970s, the Chrysalis offshoot 2 Tone Records brought in bands such as The Specials and The Selecter. The company used three different kinds of label in the '70s: the familiar green-and-red later in the 1977 it underwent a colour change to blue & white and then plan blue when Phonogram / Phonodisc took over manufacture and distribution from EMI a standard Phonogram injection-moulded-type label came in. In imitation of Island's plain pink sleeve, early Island-era Chrysalis singles were given a plain pale-green one. Initially Chrysalis singles shared Island's WIP-6000 numbering system, they were given their own CHS-2000 series in 1973. That series was shared by singles on the Scratchy and Air labels. Wright bought out Ellis in 1985, he sold Chrysalis Records to EMI in 1991 but retained the publishing arm, Chrysalis Music. Manufactured And Distributed By Island, Phonogram and Emi Records.
