  Klaatu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Klaatu was a Canadian progressive rock band in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Their first album, 3:47 EST (named Klaatu in the US due to a misunderstanding), had a Beatlesque sound, particularly in the song "Sub-Rosa Subway", but contained no biographical details, thus inspiring a rumor that the album was an anonymous project by The Beatles.
The three former members of Klaatu reunited on May 7, 2005 for a brief performance at Toronto's KlaatuKon.

They have licensed the first two Klaatu albums from Capitol Records in the US and released them on one CD together similar to Capitol’s 1992 release.
In summary, this release has the problem of slightly edited content that the Capitol Records 2-on-1 disc had back in 1992, suffers from too much hiss (especially when compared to the 1993 Attic releases) and has good, but not outstanding sound quality, slightly muddier and hissier than the Capitol Records 2-on-1 disc was.
My recommendation to someone wanting to find out about the quality of the band’s music and the quality of the band’s recordings (which FAR outshone anyone else recording in Canada and the US at the time) is to find the Bullseye Records CD releases at www.bullseyecanada.com).
