The Amalthea record company was started in 1977 by, among others, the musician Dan Hylander. It was originally based at Ystadsgatan 22, before moving to Hamngatan 4 in 1984. The company was named after the ship of the same name that was blown up by young socialist activists in Malmö harbor in 1908. In its early years, it specialized in prog-rock but later broadened its range, and released records by Hylander, Mikael Wiehe, Nationalteatern, Grus i dojjan, Husmother's Breast and Petula and the Clarks. The photo shows a 21-year-old Niels Jensen, who had just released his third album "Celluloid" in 1985. In 1993, Amalthea was purchased by MNW, a record company then based in Vaxholm, near Stockholm.
