#10 is correct.
#2 is almost correct. "Those were the days" was a compilation for CREAM Songs, which is ALMOST exactly the same album cover as another one of theirs that came out in the 60s. I am looking for the name of that 60s album.

Those Were The Days is the album (well CD) that I have and I should have known better. I know the right answer now but only
after I looked it up so I refrain from giving the answer. All I can say is "Stupid me."  :-[
