Chrysalis Records

He did some stuff with Malcolm McLaren.

He actually bought Chrysalis Records-

Oh, wow

...

So she released her second album, Fires, on her own independent label.

She had been given 50,000 pound as part of her development deal with Chrysalis Records to make that album, which wasn't enough money, so she actually remortgaged her house to complete the rest of it, and it paid off.

She signed with a subsidiary of Warner's, who reissued the album, and it got all the way to number 21, selling 100,000 copies.

This song, however, goes back to Norena Palo's beginnings of writing songs.

I was, I thought, you know, when I went, I didn't, I hadn't heard Sinead's album.

So I flew right from Belfast from covering, you know, I was like two months covering the war in Belfast and flew to London to Chrysalis Records.

And there were these gorgeous women at Chrysalis Records.

I mean, there was like a black woman who was just absolutely drop dead gorgeous.

There was a blonde, you know, there was a brunette, you know, And then Sinead came in in this, you know, like Elmer Fudd hat, you know, with the flaps down.

About four or five months in, a big voice guy, Charlie Van Dyke, nationwide big TV voices, he calls me and says, look, not many people get this chance, but I've got a chance for you to go to KKFR in Phoenix.

I said, well, I got to think about this.

I started coming over to the UK and playing a lot and also started doing a lot of remixes.

And at that point in time, Simon Dunmore was working for Chrysalis Records and then he went to A&M.

He started hiring me to do a lot of remixes.

And then he opened up his label Defected.

They've got, like, big shares in all the record labels, right, which is one of the reason why you...

One of the reasons why Capital is actually well known for just, like, playing the same group of artists all the time, right, 'cause, 'cause I think the, the com- Global media were originally owned by Chrysalis Records.

Mm.

Like, which was like a massive label back in the day.

No, okay.

That's kind of what I kind of meant, because that was because of Steve Stevens, apparently, with Chrysalis Records, right? Yes,

well, I think Marker was tight with Danny Goldberg, too, so that helped.
