Description

  • Artist & Title: Chrysalis ?– Definition
  • Label & Cat #: 1968 MGM Records SE-4547 stereo
  • Vinyl Grade: NM play graded *plays perfectly with only a couple faint inaudible marks 
  • Cover Grade: VG++  *gatefold w/cut-out hole, light ring wear color fade 
  • Notes: Sole recording by Chrysalis, the colorful quintet from Ithaca, New York who dabbled in everything from folk, rock and jazz to Middle Eastern music. Frank Zappa, who championed Chrysalis as "a group that has yet to destroy your mind" was originally asked to produce, but was in a bitter contractual dispute with MGM/Verve and couldn't.  Frontman Spider Barbour, who had appeared on both Zappa's We're Only in It for the Money and Lumpy Gravy brings a great deal of early Mothers of Invention aesthetic to the table. (AllMusic)

GRADING STANDARDS: 

(M) Mint: Record and cover appear absolutely perfect in every way.  Grade is seldom used, even with sealed albums where the record itself can only be assumed to be mint.
(NM) Near Mint: Vinyl is shiny with no obvious signs of wear and plays perfectly with no audible imperfections. Cover is close to perfect with minor signs of wear or age just becoming evident. 
(EX or VG++) Excellent /Very Good ++: Record or jacket has a minimum of audible or visual imperfections. Vinyl has been handled and played very carefully. Light paper scuffs and/or spindle marks may be visible with no appreciable lessening in sound quality. Covers show very minor signs of handling and wear. 
(VG+) Very Good Plus: Record displays light scuffs, spindle marks or very light scratches that may create some noise disturbances, but don't affect one's overall listening experience. Jacket begins to show more prominent signs of storage wear and aging.
(VG) Very Good: Defects are more pronounced with visible signs of handling and playing. Surface noise is evident upon playing, especially during soft passages and a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Covers may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached, although none of the flaws should be overwhelming. 
(G) Good / (G+)Good Plus: Vinyl will have scratches and visible groove wear. Record plays without skipping, although noticeable surface noise or ticks will be heard. Jackets have even more pronounced defects such as seam splits, tape, writing, ring wear, water damage or other defects.

PACKAGING & SHIPPING:

  • All records are sleeved and removed from jacket to prevent any seam splitting, and both then shipped inside a poly album sleeve. 
  • Shipping discounts are available when buying more than one item ($0.50 for each additional LP and $0.25 for each additional 45). Calculated shipping rules have been set up that will automatically combine multiple purchases into one shipment at time of checkout. You can also purchase multiple items and request an invoice with a combined items shipping charge.
MISCELLANEOUS:
  • All pictures are actual images of the item for sale.
  • Michigan residents will be charged 6% state sales tax on their purchase, including shipping & handling charges. 
  • In the case of sealed record albums, I can only assume that the vinyl is in Mint condition.  If you purchase a sealed record & want to ensure it is indeed new & unplayed  prior to shipping,  let me know and I will be glad to open and inspect the disc.
