DJones	Apart from Island and Joe Meeks label all the 60s UK-independents were formed by artists managers. I think the reasons for this was, that the big four (EMI, Decca, Pye, Phillips) were quite happy with what they got and had no real vision. Any opionions on this? Chrysalis / Island: There was a deal between Blackwell and the management company Chrysalis and after reaching certain goals they got their own label.
JK2006	And the same to you Dixie... I've left a message for Chris so expect we'll have the finite answer soon!
dixie	Don't worry JK. I just remember collecting records on Chrysalis whilst at school, and I left school in 1972. But though the logo on the label was Chysalis, the catalogue sequence and prefix were Island's. E.g. Singles were WIP and albums ILPS. So, maybe you were right. They were just labels, not Record companies. Have a good weekend.
JK2006	Well Dixie I've Googled and it never quite clarifies whether the publishing and logo were just a part of Island (as I'm sure they were) or a proper indie label... I'll have to call Chris Wright on this and will let you know!
JK2006	When they were managing Ten Years After (whatever happened to Alvin Lee) and I'm sure Jethro Tull were on Island until they started Chrysalis - surely long after UK Records in 1972? I'll do a Google check (wonderful thing this Tinternet).
