Chrysalis - Lacewing (1968)
Chrysalis are off their rockers on this acid-folk gem.
Back in the day New York's Chrysalis were ultra obscure, barely even a cult group despite having Zappa connections, only appearing on a couple of 90s bootleg compilations. Definition their one and only LP was just a mythical, impossible to find, "collectors scum" album until it finally got a reissue in the 00s by Rev-ola. It's another one of these almost classic records which is sometimes considered a minor masterpiece in certain quarters. There's no doubt that some of Definition's tunes are great stuff.
Chrysalis - Father's Getting Old (1968)
The classic radio-friendly heavy psychedelic rock tune of the LP. Coulda been a hit.
Chrysalis - Piece Of Sun (1968)
The great psych trick of making weird music totally accessible delicious pop music. Complete with brass and woodwinds not forgetting some insane bass and psych guitar shenanigans of the highest order.
