Those Were The Days

Those Were The Days (Volym 3) 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.
During the time between 1975-1983, many songs were written but never made it on the records. Not because the songs were not as good but more for the reason of space (only 22 minutes on each side and Ulf wrote many songs over 6-7 minutes). Years later, Ulf was reminded by a friend that there were many good songs that Jerusalem use to play "live" and why weren't those songs on any records? So the idea came to record those songs now using the same band members of that time. So Ulf called Dan, Klas and Anders and asked if they wanted to come together for two records (there were about 40 songs all together). Everyone was excited about this. Listen to "Those were the Days" and "The Truth Has to Come", still very great songs.
