Volym 3 (Those Were the Days)

Volym Tre is the seventh studio album, and the twelfth album overall, by the Swedish hard rock band Jerusalem. It was Jerusalem's first studio album since Vi Kan Inte Stoppas (Can't Stop Us Now) in 1983 to be released in both Swedish and English. The Swedish version was released by Fruit Records and MEP in 1996. The English version (renamed Those Were the Days) was released in 1997 by Jerusalem Music in the United States and Alliance Music in the UK and Europe.

History

Between 1975 and 1983, Ulf Christiansson wrote many songs that Jerusalem never recorded but often played live. After a friend reminded him of these songs and asked why they had never been on an album, Christiansson decided to record them, but he wanted to use the band members who were in Jerusalem when the songs were actually written.
