PART THREE.
"THE GREATEST STORY NEVER TOLD".
"HERE COMES THE SUN".
Side 2 of "3.47 est" features some fine Beatlesque songs and I shall begin with track 1
"TRUE LIFE HERO".
The song appears to be the "odd" song on the album and doesnt seem to fit in with the other songs on the album and perhaps could be considered as a "Ringo" tune. Each Beatle album would always feature 1 song by Ringo Starr; eg; "Act Naturally and A little help from my friends" as an example.
The theme of the song centres around "some-one being saved from drowning"; an experience that one of the ex-Beatles experienced during his youth. A little research by the reader will discover this to be a fact.
The song features some ruanchy guitar work very similiar to the Rock and Roll style of John Lennon; whilst the vocals sound different to the vocals of all the other songs on the album. In fact; this song sounds nothing like The Beatles or Klaatu, which I find very odd.
The lyrics are simple and childlike, similiar to the style found in many Ringo songs found on Beatle albums and contain only One reference to The Beatles.
"I wondered what it would be like to be the ultramaroon, to be the first on the Moon" is very similiar to the lyric line " Loup- the first Indian on the Moon" found on the Wings album "Red Rose Speedway"
The Beatles 1st EP liner notes also makes a reference to The Beatles being the First Band to have a Fan Club on the Moon. This song is copyrighted 1976/1977 Klaatoons Inc.
"DOCTOR MARVELLO".
The Beatle conections with this song are many but before I discuss them, lets take a look at the music of the song first as I regard this track as the 2nd best song on the album. Both the musical arrangements and vocals sound incredibly similiar in style to those of George Harrison. The song is reminiscent to The Beatles "Blue Jay Way" off the "Magical Mystery Tour" album and the song "Within You and Without You" from "Sgt Peppers". It also reminds me of the the following song.
It contains some excellent brass arrangements; sitar sounding instruments and reverse tape effects; a trademark of the Beatles 1966-1968 period.
Psychedelic Pop at its purest I would call this fine tune. Superb production and an excellent mix; a brilliant song.
It's all too much.

Psychedelic Pop at its purest I would call this fine tune. Superb production and an excellent mix; a brilliant song.
The lyric lines are saturated with strange Beatle co-incidences and the song begins with; "MY LOVE and I were thinking"; a possible reference to the 1973 Wings hit song "My Love". ??
The 3rd lyric line " Jonesy turned the tide" could be interpretated as a reference to the lyrics contained within the Wings song "Morse Moose and Grey Goose" from the 1978 "London Town" album.
These lyrics are; " When out upon the open sea/ the admiral, the mate and me/ Davey Jones was calling me".
In both cases; "Jonesy is at Sea"; just a co-incidence?
Strangely the artwork found on the Wings "Red Rose Speedway" is the work of a " Alan Jones" whilst Wings Touring manager was a guy called " Trevor Jones". A "Philip Jones" certaining helped turn the tide for The Beatles with their first television appearance on "Thank your lucky Stars" back in the early 60s; he was the programs Producer.
In 1971 John Lennon released a single titled "Fly" under the group name "The Plastic Ono Band with the Joe JONES deaf music company".
Meanwhile on The Beatles song "Yer Blues" can be found the lyric line " Just like Dylans Mr JONES". Am i stretching things a little and are these strange similarities just purely co-incidental????
I have also found many connections with the title of the song, the first possibly being a reference to the song "Doctor Robert" from The Beatles "Revolver" album
In 1975 Wings released the album "Venus and Mars" which featured the song " Magneto and Titanium Man"; both being Marvel Comic villians. In fact, McCartney has admitted that he is a Marvel Comic collector.
If you listen to the Beatle song " The continuing story of Bungalo Bill" off the "White Album" one can find the lyric line "Captain Marvel zapped him right between the eyes".
Way back in the 50s/60s before we all had computers, many of us read and collected comics and they certainly altered our perceptions of the world we lived in. The Marvel comics were hugely popular at the time.
The lyric lines of "Doctor Marvello" also contain possible references to The Beatles films "Yellow Submarine" and "Magical Mystery Tour". The lyric lines " So blind was our condition, we summoned black magicians to wave a wand or two" and " Talismanic spells, tannis root as well/ to tell their tale, their magic failed"
I feel they relate to the Beatle period 1966-1968 when they were blinded by their drug use and so they "summoned a black magician to wave a wand or two" and approached Maharisha Yogi for enlightenment.?
The word "Talismanic" means "To fulfill/to consecrate", which suggests Spritual enlightenment which is what they sought from the Yogi. Unfortunately "the Yogis "magic failed" to fulfill The Beatles spiritual needs.
Meanwhile on the liner notes of the "Magical Mystery Tour" album we find " Away in the sky, beyond the clouds live 4 or 5 magicians. By casting wonderful spells, they turned the most ordinary coach trip into a Magical Mystery Tour".
Of course any coach trip experienced under the influence of LSD would have been a Magical Mystery Tour; a trip down memory lane????
Meanwhile Ringo can be found playing " Merlin the Magician" in the film "The Magic Christian" which he co-starred with Peter Sellers.
Also around the early 70s George Harrison released his "Living in the material world" which was originally to be titled " The Magic is here again".
Finally, we find the lyric line " The trance wore off by morning, a sentimental journey was hazilly recalled" which could be interpretated as a reference to both the title of a Ringo Starr album "Sentimental Journey"
and to the first time The Beatles took LSD. After spending the night tripping in various London nightclubs, George drove them all home in the early hours of the morning back to Lennons home; for by the morning the LSD trance had worn off and they all recalled a sentimental journey.
I vaguely remember the times for I also experienced my own Magical Mystery Tours under the influence of LSD, whilst often listening to Sgt Peppers and Magical Mystery Tour albums. The 60s for many, including myself was a very enlightening time and opened up the portals to the multi-dimensional universe we live in/ or at least I lived in.
"SIR BODWORTH RUGGLESBY".
For some strange reason, the song title was "mis-spelt" on the album to read "SIR BODSWORTH RUBBLESBY 111" .
Defining the words "Bods" and "Rubble" we can interpretate as a reference to " a person born of quarrying" and every Beatle fan should know that the Beatles were originally called THE QUARRYMEN.
Even though the members of Klaatu claim to be Canadian born, this song contains many reference to England and the English language and way of life.
One lyric line " Behind his cup of tea "; being that A CUP OF TEA is an English way of life; everyone drinks Tea in England. In Canada, coffee is a more popular drink.
The lyrics continue with " He stored a wager on the line, ten thousand pounds and five", which could be a reference to the English currency THE POUND.
In Verse 2 we find the lyrics " Now in the fall of 49/ he skipped across the seven brine/ looking for a birth in naval history. He was never heard or seen again, officially presumed him dead./ But the words he left behind, still echo through my mind, "Im the only man who will ever get to come back alive".
In the fall of 49, John Lennons father Fred Lennon joined the Merchant Navy and decided to sail the seven brine and failed to return home. John Lennon presumed his father dead and it wasnt until the mid/late 60s that Freddy Lennon came back alive and surfaced into Johns life.
These lyric lines are similiar to the lyric lines " In the town where i was born/ lived a man who sailed the seas" found in The Beatles song "Yellow Submarine".
Meanwhile in the Wings song "Helen Wheels" from the "Band on the Run" can be found the lines " Sailor Sam, he came from Birmingham, but he will NEVER BE FOUND".
Was The Band on the Run who will never be found a reference to Klaatu????

There exists dozens of other Beatle/Klaatu co-incidences within the lyrics of this song and I shall leave it to the reader to discover these connections or they shall have to wait for the full version of my story to be revealed.
A final possibility that the reference to "he is the only man to ever come back alive" could be related to the October 1969 rumour that "Paul is Dead"; killed in a car crash outside Abbey Road studios on the 9th November 1966 and replaced with a Double (William Cambell).

Clues to his mysterious death had been deliberately scattered on the covers of various Beatle album covers and within the song lyrics of Beatle songs since 1966.
Clues to his mysterious death had been deliberately scattered on the covers of various Beatle album covers and within the song lyrics of Beatle songs since 1966.
The reader should take a look at the recently released DVD titled "Paul McCartney Really is Dead"; being "the last testament of George Harrison".
The "Paul is dead" rumour resulted in millions of fans re-purchasing all of the Beatle albums again to search for clues after millions of American fans had burnt their Beatle albums after John Lennon in 1966 claimed that "The Beatles were bigger than Jesus Christ".
Sales of The Beatles recordings went through the roof and they made millions from this mysterious "planted" rumour when it hit the media.
There also exists some rumour that the individual whom started the "Paul is Dead "rumour is also responsible for starting the rumour "Klaatu are The Beatles."

Information to support this theory shall be presented later and clearly suggests a definate Beatles/Klaatu connection featuring a number of the same individuals. As this story unfolds the plot certainly thickens and begins to pose more questions than answers.
"LITTLE NEUTRINO".
This eerie, haunting song deals with the "communicative powers of a sub-atomic particle called a Neutrino; which originates from the centre of the Sun. "
The song is saturated with reverse tape effects, both musical and vocally; overloaded with 7ths and 9ths guitar chord monstrosities; reminiscent of such Beatle recordings like "Revolution No9", "Strawberry Fields Forever" and " I am the Walrus".
Multi-layered soundscapes excite the senses and transports ones state of consciousness into the multi-dimension quantum world we all live in.
Space and Time have always been a theme of many songs by Paul McCartney/John Lennon/George Harrison and Ringo Starr. Going by the liner notes of The Beatles first EP, the Beatles were "cosmically aware" before anyone else.
John Lennon sang about Mind Games in Space and in Time/
Mind games
Paul sang about Venus and Mars and Back to the EGG/
George sang about Living in the Material world and Cloud Nine and Ringo Starr portrayed the Alien Visitor KLAATU on his 1974 "Goodnight Vienna". The proof is there for all to see.
John,Ringo & Harry
The front cover of Ringo Starrs 1974 "Goodnight Vienna" album features a picture of Ringo dressed as the "alien visitor" KLAATU from the 1951 movie "The Day the Earth Stood Still",
The front cover of Ringo Starrs 1974 "Goodnight Vienna" album features a picture of Ringo dressed as the "alien visitor" KLAATU from the 1951 movie "The Day the Earth Stood Still",
which was originally to be titled " KLAATU; BARADA NIKTO" but for some strange reason the title was changed to "Goodnight Vienna". This piece of factual evidence prooves 100% without a doubt that "at least One ex-Beatle members was associated with the name KLAATU two years prior to Klaatu releasing their debut album.
During the same period, Ringo also produced a video clip for his song "Only You"
where he is seen standing on the top of the Capitol Records building in Los Angeles dressed as "the alien visitor".
Strangely enough, not long after this video was made, Capitol Records would sign a mysterious band called KLAATU to their lable. Nothing was known about the members of Klaatu and their "true identities" was not disclosed to the record lable.

So began the arrival of Klaatu onto planet Earths musical landscape and the world began to ask "Who are Klaatu"?.
When the mysterious manager of Klaatu Frank Davies was asked to disclose the real identities of the Klaatu members , he stated that "clues" to their identities could be found both on the cover of the album and within the musical content.
When the mysterious manager of Klaatu Frank Davies was asked to disclose the real identities of the Klaatu members , he stated that "clues" to their identities could be found both on the cover of the album and within the musical content.
He was right, because both sources provide possible clues to their identities and many of these clues suggested a Beatles Connection.
Like the clues to the "Paul is Dead" rumour, the mysterious "hand above Pauls head" found on the Sgt Pepper and Magical Mystery Tour could possibly be " foretelling the arrival of Klaatu".???
The mysterious hand can be found on the below albums.
On Ringos "Goodnight Vienna" album Ringo can be seen giving a "salute to humanity" ; which is strangely similiar to the "Paul is Dead" salutes. "Could The Beatles have "planted" such clues on their album covers ten years prior to Klaatu s arrival?
When Paul McCartney in 1970 suggested to the other 3 Beatles that they go "underground" and record and perform live "under an assumed name", did they all agree to go along with his idea?
Remember that when Paul first took Wings out to play live , they would book themselves into university venues "under an assumed name" and NOT as Paul Mcartney and Wings.
There exists many clues on the albums Artwork, especially the "little Mouse" which contains many possible Beatle connections. The "Mouse mascot" can be found on all 5 Klaatu albums.
Remember Ringo's "Scouse the Mouse"?.
During the 70s Paul McCartney and Wings made an animated film titled;
"The Bruce Mcmouse Show" and featuring Wings live in concert 1972.
Similiar "Suns" ( see George Harrisons "Thirty Three and a 3rd" and "Gone Troppo" albums ) and can also be found on various Solo albums by the ex-Beatle members.

Surely all these links couldn't purely be coincidental?
Similiar "Suns" ( see George Harrisons "Thirty Three and a 3rd" and "Gone Troppo" albums ) and can also be found on various Solo albums by the ex-Beatle members.
Similiar "Flowers" and "Butterflies" and "Mushrooms" can also be discovered on various Solo albums.
The mysterious "planet" seen on the back cover of "3.47 est" album strangely resembles the "planet" seen on the cover of Ringo s "Goodnight Vienna".
The evidence to be presented will certainly suggest a "Conspiracy" of some sort haven taken place.
Even to this day, various individuals refuse to "communicate" with me and keep hoping I will simply go away. I have spent many years continiously researching "the rumour" and plan to reveal my findings if its the last thing I ever do.
Perhaps there is no truth to the rumour at all and I have simply made a fool of myself but I find it difficult to ignore all the strange co-incidences; pieces of evidence and strange occurences I experienced during my work on the subject matter.
Stay tuned for Part 4 where we will begin to uncover all the evidence and co-incidences associated with their 2nd album "HOPE".
