Klaatu was a Canadian band from the late 70s. Their biggest claim to fame here in the US was that they were rumored to be the Beatles reunited under a new name. Like the "Paul is dead" theories there were many clues that supposedly pointed to their secret identity. Mostly, they kinda sounded like them. Similar voices and styles but never a direct copy. For me, after the second album (which is more of a concept album that I didn't care for) each album was better than the last but unfortunately they just could not shake the Beatles comparisons and they never took off beyond a cult following here. The picture above was the cover I made for my tape of favorites that I put together in the mid 80s.
