I assume many here know about the band Klaatu, and how they were thought
to maybe be The Beatles incognito with their album 3:47 EST released in 1976.
Well they weren't The Beatles, or any individual Beatle, but a Canadian group who were very scant on details (names, recording details, etc) on
the album sleeve.
My question is did they deliberately set out to sound Beatlish ? The
music, the style of (most of) the songs themselves, the instrumentation choices, and John Woloschuk's vocals sound ***so*** Paul , especially on 'Sub-Rosa Subway'.
Anybody else with thouhts on this.
And if you haven't listened, then you may enjoy it. It is on Spotify....

I don't think so. In my opinion only *two* Klaatu songs sound
"beatlish", "Sub-Rosa Subway" and "Calling Occupants of Interplanetry
Craft" (which was later covered by the Carpenters), and probably just by coincidence. The other songs of the first album and all songs of the
second album "Hope" sound very different.

When I was a kid, I had this book about the Beatles that addressed not just the facts about the band, but various silly rumors about them, such as "Paul is Dead" and "Klaatu are the Beatles, secretly reunited." The author devoted a paragraph or two to

The Beatles certainly did have more of a sense of humour than the author (Schaffner ?) appears to have ...
And what did he make of the likes of Why Don't We Do It In The Road ?
