Description from the seller
Chrysalis – Definition (MGM Records – SE-4547) made in USA original 1968 1st pressing gatefold LP | vinyl: NM (near mint) | cover: excellent (gatefold) deletion hole in cover, bottum left. -->Psychedelic Rock, Folk Rock, Acid Rock, Art Rock.
Chrysalis were an American folk/rock band formed in Ithaca, NY in 1966. The band released only one album before breaking up in 1970, though several additional recordings were later released. The band consisted of Paul Album (bass), James Spider Barbarous (guitar, vocals), Dahaud Elias Shaar (percussion), Nancy Nairn (vocals), John Sabin (guitar) and Ralph Kotkov (keyboards).
The band's one album, Definition, released through MGM, is considered "a lost masterpiece". The album features orchestral drama, jazzy piano motifs and world beat rhythms, along with short comedy skits. The band wanted the album to be produced by Frank Zappa, a fan of the group who described them as "a group that has yet to destroy your mind", but he declined due to issues with MGM/Verve. Instead, the album went through several production teams.
Kotkov became a songwriter, penning If You're Lookin' for a Way Out, a UK top ten single in 1980 for disco band Odyssey.

Seller's Story
My name is Hans Kesteloo and I finally decided to sell my ‘remaining’ collection of 45’s, LP’s, CD’s, DVD’s, laserdiscs and other odd things after more than 60 years of ‘hardcore’ collecting. I purchased my first 45 in 1965, and this was the beginning of an enjoyable, long-time hobby – a real-time “collector’s career”. Now time has come to pass the baton !

My grading in Brackets is the same as the grading before that, but here I use the old respected "Goldmine" grading for the older traditional collector!
vg+ = slight traces of use / visible traces inaudible (Goldmine grading: VG+)
ex = very light inaudible traces (Goldmine grading: VG++)
nm = as new (Goldmine Grading: M-)
mint = new (Goldmine grading: M)
