"Volym Tre" is the seventh studio album, and twelfth album overall, from 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 US 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, Ulf decided to record them, but he wanted to use the band members that were in Jerusalem during the time the songs were actually written.
