  Chrysalis Records - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chrysalis was formed through a licensing deal with Chris Blackwell's Island Records based on the success of bands like Jethro Tull and Procol Harum, which were promoted by the label.
Towards the end of the 1970s, the Chrysalis offshoot 2Tone Records brought us bands such as the Specials, the Selector, Madness and The Beat.
The Chrysalis Records label was sold to EMI in 1991 and now the label is only used for the record releases of Robbie Williams, with catalogue and artists such as Starsailor being shifted to the main EMI brands.

 Rudeboy's Choice
The 2Tone ska bands used political and social issues in their lyrics to make Britain's youth understand the trials and tribulations of modern society.
2Tone was one of ska history's stepping stones, which was well needed to continue on the Jamaican tradition.
This era lasted for 6 years, yet it created a foundation for ska bands of today to follow and expand their musical venues while continuing the tradition of bringing harmony in a society plundered by redundant disco music and unjustified racism.

 best ska band - Page 4
all i am saying is yes, while the toasters could be considered a 2tone band, they were not affiliated with the 2tone (2nd wave) movement in any way (and were not on 2tone records) so technically i believe they would be considered a third wave band with a 2tone sound.
2tone is a type of ska, third wave is not.
Just because a band wasn't on 2tone records dosnt mean they dont play 2-tone.

 2 Tone Records - Artists
Who, while having a record pressed, never actually released anything on the label, but even outside his withdrawn 45, he featured prominently on the label as producer, taking the reigns on both The Specials debut LP and the Nelson Mandela single 1984.
The label was of course the brainchild of Jerry Dammers, who's intention was to create a British equivalent of Tamla or Stax, a label with it's own identity, with it's own sound.
The Bodysnatchers released 2 45's on the label, but by the time of their second release, Ska had had its day as far as the British Charts were concerned.

The 2Tone label, which was known for its multi-racial friendliness was accused of being a racist label, despite the fact that every band signed on at the time was multi-racial.
Some of my earliest memories are of him and two of his friends putting records on a portable record player and dancing while I sat and watched.
Although many acts worldwide were doing their version of Jamaican styled music or 2Tone, certain bands were mixing horns and pop punk and labeled it ska, despite the fact that compositionally, had very little in common with the true ska.

The simplest answer is that “2Tone” was a record label started in the late 1970’s by Jerry Dammers, a member of the British ska band The Specials.
The logo for 2Tone is known as “Walt Jabsco,” a man dressed in a fl suit, tie, pork pie hat, loafers, with a white shirt and socks and a pair of sunglasses (apparently, the drawing was inspired by Peter Tosh of the Wailers).
The background was checkered fl and white, the embodiment of the racial dichotomy.
