HERE COMES THE SUN

PART 2.

"HERE COMES THE SUN".

Its the 19th Oct 2019, many years after 911 and what feels like a lifetime since the mysterious members of KLAATU came out of the closet and reportedly revealed their "true identities".? 

From this disclosure back in 1979, the music fans of the world were hoodwinked into believing the mystery had been solved. "Klaatu were NOT The Beatles"? 

 From this moment, the world lost interest in the possibility that The Beatles had secretly recorded albums under the band name Klaatu and the rumour fell into the Pit of History.

Humanity had once again been hoodwinked to believe what the media had fed them, just like "Lee Harvey Oswald killed John F Kennedy"; "Ray Earl Jones killed Martin Luther King", "Siran Siran killed Robert Kennedy" and "the alien saucer crash at Roswell was a weather balloon"? 

. Throughout History the masses have been fed a diet of Lies and those that have often tried to expose these Lies have either been discredited as "loonies" or have been silenced.


Much water has flowed under the bridge since 1979 and much NEW information has surfaced since then that continues to link the ex-Beatle members with the recordings of Klaatu; which I shall be revealling alongside my research findings between 1977- 1984.


In September 1976, a completely unknown rockband by the name of KLAATU released their debut album titled "3.47 EST" . 
The album made no waves when released until a Providence Rhode Island journalist by the name Steve Smith wrote the article " Could Klaatu be The Beatles?". 

Despite Capitol Records denying the rumour, the rumour snowballed in the press and the album became an instant Top 40 Chart album throughout America and Canada.

Before long, the world was "set on fire" by the rumour and the album sold like hot cakes across the globe.

Steve Smith recommended a close listen to the songs "Sub Rosa Subway" and "Doctor Marvello"; stating that the latter sounded very much like The Beatles song "Blue Jay Way". He went on to claim that many of the Klaatu songs were similiar to Beatle songs recorded between 1968-1969 and featured sitars and backward tape effects. 

 He went on to state "Klaatu could mean Been Here Before" BHB4.


Capitol Records did disclose that the word Klaatu was taken from the 1951 Science Fiction movie called " The day the Earth stood still", in which actor Michael Rennie played a Peace Emissary from Outer Space name KLAATU.

"3.47 EST" is both the time of Klaatus arrival on Earth and the Canadian title of their debut album.

In 1974 Ringo Starr produced the below video for his song "Only You".
He is dressed as the film character KLAATU, from "The day the Earth stood still".
The filming took place on top of the Capitol Records building in Los Angeles.
This shows that 1 ex Beatle had a link to the name Klaatu prior to the debut album by the band Klaatu.

Meanwhile Mr Smith managed to speak to the band manager Mr Frank Davies who stated that " everything Mr Smith had summerized in his article " Could Klaatu be Beatles" was really pretty accurate all the way round and that there are many clues on the album about the bands identity".


Klaatu have stated that "Our first album is based on a Science Fiction theme; detailing life- Past / Present and Future on a planet called KLAATU".


The album begins with the sound of crickets and our visitor steps onto terrafirma and so begins our cosmic journey with "Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft" , which became a huge hit for The Carpenters in the late 1970s. 

An anthem for the cosmic 1970s when the Earth was hit by a peak of UFO activity in our skies. Either the Aliens were truely exposing themselves to humanity or the the drugs of the day were " far out man"? 

The Harmonic Convergence heralded a New Cosmic awareness during the 1970s and we " Welcomed our Space Brothers/Sisters" to our beautiful planet. 

CALLING OCCUPANTS.

At the time, back in 1976/7, I was meditating under a Pyramid and researching and writing Press Stories for various publications on topics such as "UFOs", which involved field research into sighting locations and eventuated into a number of "strange encounters".

 Flying Saucers and strange aliens loomed everywhere. Either our Cosmic friends heard the call " Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft" or they have been living "amoungst" us for eons? 

Did we originate from Adam and Eve or were we genetically engineered by the Gods/Aliens from another planet? 

Ringo

The lyrics of the song contains many connections to the lifes of the ex-Beatle members and I shall begin with " You have been observing our Earth" which is what Paul McCartney and Wings can be observed doing on the cover of their album " Back to the Egg". 
They are seen inside a "spaceship" looking down on Earth from Outerspace.

The lyrics continue with " and one night we would like to make a contact with you", which connects with John Lennons statement on the jacket of his 1974 "Walls and Bridges" album " On the 23rd August 1974 I saw a UFO". 

John later stated " I went to the window and as I turned my head, hovering over the next building; no more than 100 feet away was this thing. It was flying very low and the object appeared to have an ordinary electric light bulb flashing on and off around the bottom and one non-blinking red light on top". 
Lennon claimed that he was completely straight at the time and May Pang (his companion) witnessed the event.

 Lennon claimed that he took several pictures of the UFO but when he tried to get the developed, all he got back was a blank film; the pics had mysteriously vanished. He claimed the returned film looked like it had been through the radar at customs.

"Strangely I had the same experience myself around the same time, I had taken some fantastic close daylight photos of a Flying Disc, with several witnesses and yet when I tried to have the pictures developed, I was told there was "nothing" on the film; it was blank.

 It was a case of either the Men in Black confiscated the pics or the Aliens are camera shy and possess the technology to erase the pics from our film prior to developing?.


The following lyrics " With your mind you have the ability to tansmit thought energy far beyond the node" could be interpretated as a reference to a story told by Uri Geller in his book " Confessions of a Rabbi and a Psychic": by Samuel Boteach and Uri Geller, Robson Books 2001. 

 On page 123/125 Uri Geller tells of a conversation he had with John Lennon in the early 70s where Lennon claims that " a number of Aliens invaded his Apartment one evening and gave him a " mysterious egg-like object". John said to Uri " If its my ticket to another planet, I dont want to go there".

Lennon then gave Uri the mysterious "egg object" for safe keeping.

 Perhaps this device was an Intergalactic Communication Thought Transmitter? " with your mind you have the ability to transmit thought energy far beyond the node".

I
 have tried to get in contact with Uri but have recieved no reply.

In 1973 John Lennon released his "Mind Games" album which listed the backing band as " THE PLASTIC UFO BAND" and which featured the song "Out of the Blue" containing the lyric " like a UFO, you came to me". 

Out of the blue 

Back in 1970, the organizers of the The Plastic Ono Band live in Toronto, Canada set about planning a larger open –air concert for July 1970 and promised the public public performances by THE BEATLES and Bob Dylan, plus a special visit by a "Convoy of Flying Saucers". One wonders why Lennon later called the whole thing off? Perhaps the other Beatle members were not interested or the Aliens were already booked on another planet?


In December 1974, Paul McCartney asked the famous Science Fiction writer Isaac Asimov if he would write a story around Pauls idea about " A terrestial/human Pop Group that are replaced by AlIEN imposters". 

Asimov wrote a screenplay around the theme but Paul wasnt happy about the completed draft. Asimov was paid and McCartney put the draft aside. Paul later then asked Asimov if he could develope the idea from a piece of dialogue that he had written, but Asimov declined.

"This sounds similiar to statements made about Klaatu, " they could even be Aliens from another planet"?.

On Paul McCartneys "Press to Play" album can be found a weird "track filler" where Paul mentions a " spaceship" landing in his backyard when he sings " The window was open and outside was a Spaceship, leaving a trail of smoke behind it". 

 

It would appear that The Beatles were Cosmic Conscious from their 1st EP " The Beatles No1" released in November 1963, which featured a sleeve note stating " The Beatles seem to have achieved so much during this first standout year that falls short of getting themselves a fanclub branch on the Moon. For the information of Earthdwellers".

Another lyric line from "Calling Occupants" states "Please interSTELLAR policeman" could be interpretated as a reference to Paul McCartneys daugheter "Stellar McCartney"? which is certainly an unusual name for a child.

A number of other clues can be found within this opening track; far too many to mention here, so lets move onto track two.

"CALIFORNIA JAM".

 
This song forewarns of a massive earthquake hiting California in the lyric line "one day youre gonna be a place in our memory". 

The Beatles themselves have many ties with the state of California; in fact they gave their last American concert at Cow Palace in San Fransisco on the 29th August 1966.

The song is copyrighted for two dates, being 1974 and 1976, which could suggest that two versions of the song were recored.

 The song was released as a Single in 1974 on Island Records. 

Strangely enough in 1974 John Lennon took up residence in California were he recored many tracks off his "Walls and Bridges" album. During the early - mid 1970s Lennon would record many songs from his "Plastic Ono Band"; "Mind Games"; "Walls and Bridges" and "Rock n Roll" albums in California.

. During this same time frame, Paul and Linda McCartney spent a great deal of time in California recording and mixing songs from the Wings album "Venus and Mars".

During 1974, George Harrison set up his own record lable "Dark Horse Records" in Los Angeles, California.

 Ringo Starr also spent much time visiting California during 73/74; which places ALL FOUR BEATLE MEMBERS in the same location during the same period.

"Could it be that they all secretly got together to record songs featured on Klaatus debut album"? 

"What would be stopping say Paul going into a studio first and recording his contributions to Klaatu s debut album and for the other Beatles to seperately record their musical contributions to the songs"? By going into the studio alone/seperately, such a secret recording-re-union project would be a push over to carry out, "who would suspect that The Beatles were recording together"?


The songs lyrics contain a number of lyric lines with Beatle links and the only one I shall quote here is at the end of the song the vocalists can be heard singing "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah"; which is reminiscent of The Beatles singing "She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah".

The reader shall have to do their own research to discover the other hidden clues in this song or eventually read the FULL VERSION of my book should it ever see the light of day. 

Unfortunately I am restricted as to "what i can reveal " at this moment in time as there are a number of individuals whom wish to "silence my revealations".

Many other connections with The Beatles/ Klaatu and California shall surface throughout this book and the reader shall see all the jigsaw pieces fall into place and the Conspiracy of Silence shall be broken. 

The process of editing over 600 pages of evidence/information is a tiresome thing and very time consuming; a labour of love. 

Remember folks, my story is being presented to the world in Blogg form for FREE, 

My motivation is simply to "tell my story" and if the publishers of this world dont have the balls to publish my book, then I shall do it myself in whatever format I can.

So lets move on to song three from the album with a song titled 

"ANUS OF URANUS".

The song contains many interesting lyric lines and the song is copyrighted 1973 and 1977 under "Dr Music Publishing" and Leeds Music.

 Firstly, quite a large percentage of The Beatles very early songs were copyrighted under Leeds Music; including "I'll follow the sun", "I dont want to spoil the party","I'll get you", "She loves you","This Boy" and "If I fell", to name just a few.

 The Beatle connection concerning "Dr Music Publishing" can be found on the John Lennon album "Shaved Fish" where the following statement can be found

" A CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS"

, signed DR WINSTON O'BOOGIE.


A McCartney connection can be found by comparing the similiar lyric line. 

 "Last night, while wishing on a Star; down from the sky, came a man in a car. He said; get in Jackson, come on, lets go for a ride, out of sight".

"JET". Band on the Run album. Wings.

"Climb on the back and we will go for a ride in the sky".
 
Remember that in the song Band on the Run, McCartney sings " we will never be found"

. Was the "Band on the Run" a reference to Klaatu and the identity of the Klaatu members?

Could the reference to the name "Jackson" be related to a close working associate of Paul McCartney by the name of " Jack Maxson" or possibly "Michael Jackson" whom was also a close friend on Pauls? 

The Klaatu lyric lines also makes a reference to the planet Venus, which connects with the Wings album "Venus and Mars" which was being recorded around the same time period. Linda McCartney astrologically is rules by the planet Venus; strange indeed.


The Klaatu lyrics; "He said meet my computer" is interesting by the fact that in 1973 Paul McCartney was one of the first musicians to purchase a revolutionary new musical instrument called a Fairlight computer from a Sydney based 8.

 Very few computers existed in those stone aged days of recording.


There exists a number of other Beatle/Klaatu connections on this song, though I shall leave the reader to explore these for themselves.


Now we come to one of the most Beatlish sounding songs from the album, a song titled:

 "SUB ROSA SUBWAY"

, which is saturated with Beatle connections.

I remember seeing a video for this song aired on the Sydney music television program Rage way back in the mid 1970s where the title of the song was "SUB ROSA SPEEDWAY", which very strangely is almost identical to the title of a Wings album called "RED ROSE SPEEDWAY".

The songs titled could also be a reference to the Beatles own company "SUBAFILMS", which was responsible for many of the Beatles films and a possible reference to the film "Yellow Submarine". ?

The translation of the two words "SUB ROSA" was discovered to mean the following; "Ancient secret under the rose" or "privately", whilst the word "SUBWAY" means " an underground tunnel". Therefore, the title "Sub Rosa Subway" can be interpretated as meaning " a private underground tunnel".

The song makes mention of the name "Alfred Beech" which was also found to contain a Beatle connection. When the Beatles company Apple Corps was about to collapse, John Lennon approached the former head of British Rail "Lord Beeching" to help straighten out the mess. Although the songs lyrics appear to be referring to an American subway, I feel this may be a plot to throw the Beatle fans off the track with any connection with England. 

England also has its own "underground rail system".

The lyric line "One station filled with Victorias age" also implies a british connection, for its implies "an underground railway station built of Victorian architecture around the time of Queen Victoria".

The date "1870" mentioned in the song also ties in with my England theory, for during 1870 Queen Victoria held the Throne of England, therefore allowing all the jigsaw pieces to fit together and complete our picture.

 The first British underground railway system, being the City and South London Railway was opened in 1890 and its construction began around the year "1870".


We also must consider the fact the songs lyrics could be a reference to New Yorks Grand Central Station which is also filled with architecture of the Victorias age and also constructed around 1870. 

The New York underground was reportedly built by a fellow called "Alfred Beech", with the rail loup running under Times Square and also under John Lennons New York residence "The Dakota Apartments".

Perhaps John Lennon was aware of these facts and helped inspire the writing of the song?

 Whatever the truth is, its interesting to note that many of the lyrics to songs by Klaatu contain direct reference to the British culture/ history/language and terminology; as we shall discover as this tome unfolds.

At the closing of this song a Morse Code message can be heard, which a number of researchers have deciphered as reading; 

"From Alfred Heed thy sharpened ears, a message we do bring. A Starship appears upon our sphere. Through London sky comes spring". Another decipherment reads" A Starship over London comes spring".

Its again interesting that Klaatu consistantly make references to England when we have been led to believe that the members of Klaatu were Canadian??? Are these Canadian musicians simply "Patsies" for the real identities of the Klaatu members? 

The song ends with the singing " The Brahsian tunes, the Brahmsian tunes", which strongly connects with George Harrison.

 The word "Brahmsian" when translated means; "a person of the highest or priestly caste amoung the Hindus". 

Every Beatle fan would know of George Harrison's devotion to the Indian religion Krishna, this fact speaks for itself. When listening to the vocals on this song, they do sound very much like those of George Harrison?

The lyrics could also be a reference to the German composer Johannes Brahms 1833-1897 who wrote a number of world reknown concertos and syphonies.


So ends my brief review of songs featured on Side One of Klaatu's debut album and its time to take a look at some of the events surrounding my investigations.

Around the middle of November 1980, I began recieving a number of mysterious phone calls all related to the writing of my book. Remember folks this was before Cell phones came into being; in those ancient times we all relied on landline phones and phone answering machines. At the time, I had my phone rigged up so that I could record my phone conversations.

One of these calls came from an individual only identified by the name "FRANK" who claimed he was investigating KLAATU on behalf of the Australian Performing Rights Association. The company had been spending thousands of dollars trying to "track down" and discover the "real identities" of the KLAATU members, but with no success. 

"FRANK" supplied me with much new mindboggling information concerning their investigations and their findings. To this day, the real identity of "FRANK" has never been uncovered.

. He claimed that recently they/he had learned that "Paul McCartney had confessed to writing the song "Sub Rosa Subway" back in 1969 and claimed that he had a tape recording of the song to proove it". Paul went on to claim " in the early 1970s his home in St John Wood in London was broken into and the demo recording of "Sub Rosa Subway" was stolen".
 "Frank" went on to inform me that McCartney was then considering taking "legal action" against KLAATU for stealing his song.

This information blew me away and made me more determined to uncover the truth to the whole Beatles/Klaatu conspiracy.

McCartney would some years later make a movie and record an album around the theme of some-one stealing his songs, remember "Give my regards to Broad St"?. 

Strangely during early 1975 I did spend some time at Pauls St Johns Wood home and had a nice little jam there; although I am reluctant to disclose the full details about my visit. 

I was living just around the corner and also visited Abbey Road studios durinng my brief visit to London.

"Frank" went on to push me to disclose what information I had uncovered with my investgation but I refused to reveal my findings. He claimed that if it was discovered that The Beatles were secretly recording "under the assumed name of KLAATU" that they could be "sued for the infringement of copyright laws and could stand to lose millions of dollars"

. He warned me to be very careful and hung up the phone. I would not hear from Frank until early 1981 when he supplied me with more mindboggling information and again warned me to be very careful or i might "END UP LIKE JOHN LENNON=DEAD". 

John Lennon had been assassinated some months earlier by a so called "crazed killer with no motive".

Two weeks prior to Lennons shooting I was given information on his killer and his motivation for shooting Lennon and to this day I have not disclosed these facts. I shall be revealing more of this startling information later in this book, so stay tuned.


With only One side of Klaatu's album reviewed, my theory that KLAATU COULD BE THE BEATLES is looking very interesting to say the least.


Before we venture into reviewing Side Two of the Klaatu album, many Beatle fans have asked me; "How come on some of the songs their vocals dont sound very Beatlish at all?".

My answer to this question is; "To aviod being discovered, they went to the extremes to produce songs as far distant from the Beatle style as possible. They used the latest gadgets in recording technology, such as a machine known as a Voice Mask. This little device is widely used by Intelligence Organizations around the world, in fact, this little device could alone hold the secret of Klaatu. 

The device could alter a persons voice so much that even the mother of the person wouldnt be able to recognise the voice. The gadget would permit The Beatles to change their vocal characterizations so that even the most devoted fan wouldnt recognise the singers. The device would also allow a group such as Klaatu to technically mould their voices to sound very much like John, George , Paul and Ringo.


Another question asked was; "If Klaatu are The Beatles, why would they sign a deal with the same Record Company that releases most of The Beatles and Wings albums in America? Wouldnt this give Klaatu's identity away more easily?"

Answer; "I believe that Klaatu signed with Capitol Records because Capitol Records could hide their real identities and capitalize on the rumour that "KLAATU ARE THE BEATLES".

 Klaatu were looking for a lable that would accept them under their terms; being that the "identities of the Klaatu members would not be revealed. Foremost amoung these prerequisites was the exclusion of the band members names from the contract and publicity releases. The band was signed via a production agreement with a third party 
(Klaatu representative FRANK Davies), whos name appeared on the contract".

Later we will discover that when the false identities of the Klaatu members were revealed prior to the recording of their "Endangered Species" album, 

Capitol Records in America dropped the band and withdrew their records from sale all around the world. 

Capitol Records in America threatened to sue the identified Klaatu members for fraud and the three individuals fled to Canada.

It has recently come to light that at the time that NONE OF THE KLAATU members played on their 4th album "Endangered Species" and that the album was recorded by various studio musicians with the Klaatu members only responsible for recording the vocals. 

One only has to listen to this album carefully to realise that it wasnt a true Klaatu recording.

For some strange reason, that once Capitol Records were provided with the names of three "unknown" musicians, perhaps they realised they had been conned or scammed and to protect their own asses withdrew all of the Klaatu product off the world market? M
ore information on this shall be revealed in later chapters of the book as this facsination conspiracy unfolds.

Under an assumed name.

Revised Edition Oct. 2019

      " THE BEATLES / KLAATU CONSPIRACY 

　                    

           Chapter One.

It's mid November 2019 & I have decided to Revise my 10 Part blogg "The greatest story never told".

Looking back over the huge volume of material it appears impossible to overlook/ignore all the strange events that took place during my 6 years of research. 

Hundreds of strange coincidences were uncovered linking The Beatles with the mysterious band Klaatu, this evidence can't be denied.

Some one was baiting me with information , whilst others wanted to silence my investigation. 

When I tried to get my story published I was warned to be careful of revealing what I had uncovered or I could end up like Lennon, "Dead."

The threat contributed to my marriage breakup and in 1986 I went "underground", living with friends and keeping a low profile.
For around 25 years I lived in the wilderness before deciding to publish my Story in Blogg form.
Now a 10 Part series featuring over 300 pages, 100 pics and around 100 videos. 

           Background Info.

　Way back in the mid 1960s, I was just a teenager when The Beatles took the world by storm and I vividly remember the push and shove outside the Sydney Sheraton Hotel in Maccleay St, Kings Cross in June 1964; myself and my younger sister Kathy managed to climb up the outside of the hotel to the 1st Floor balcony before being caught by security. 

                      I too, became just a kid with Stars in my eyes and at the tender age of 16 , myself and my older brother Graham formed our 1st pop group " The Limit"; I played the drums; Graham on guitar and a guy called Pete? on bass guitar. As a 3 piece outfit we had to work hard and develope a tight sound and within months of practicing we were out and about performing at Parties/ weddings/ fetes/ Drive in Movie concerts and dance halls across the Sydney metro area.

After around 18 months, we added a keyboard player Terry; a lead Singer ???? and a new Drummer, Bill. I moved on to become the bass guitarist.

 Within 6 months the band won the local heat of Hoadleys Battle of the Bands 1966 at Penrith High School.

 We were on our way??????

I'm on left.



Rubber Soul was the Beatles offering to the masses in 1965 and was a turning point in their recording carreer; live concerts would come to an end at Candle Stick Park, California in 1966 , where The Beatles were smartly attired in ARMY SUITS , ( which would provide connections to one of the many Beatles/Klaatu 

 Once The Beatles ceased live performances, they had time to refine their songwriting talents and sound production with the direction of their Producer/Arranger Sir George Martin. 
                       

 "Rubber Soul" was their 1st album that featured " part of all their Souls" within the texture/matrix/spirit in the machine musical/ lyrical content.
                   

. The 5 Magicians wove their sound to resonate with the envoronment of the times; the youth culture across the world were learning to "Tune in/ turn on and drop out". Or was that "Drop out, turn on and tune in?". " I think i was there at Woodstock but I cant remember".

 Flower Power and Love Inns were the hippie landscape; a Trip down memory lane and you are never the same.

 Reefer saneness all around, meths and speed to stop one coming down and flying higher than Jefferson Airplane.

It was a magical time for music and in the Sydney metropolitan area there existed close on 600 music venues, so work was plentiful and on a Friday and Saturday nights my band would often perform at 3-4 venues in one night; supporting great Australian bands like The Easybeats/ The Loved Ones/ The Twilights/ Normie Rowe and Johnny OKeefe to name just a few. 

The loved one's.

                          The Easybeats. 

 I was a 17/18 year old lad having the time of my life; playing the music I loved and mixing with my local heroes.

By 1969 the band burnt itself out and we all went our seperate ways .
In 1972 I moved to Hobart, fruit picking during the day and working as a solo guitarist/singer in a Hobart nightclub on weekends. 
After around 6 months I formed a 5 piece band I named "Nobodys Funeral". We played covers by Bowie, Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull, the Doors and the Stones. 
It was a great band and we had plenty of work. We even went to small towns, hired their local community hall and put on our own dances/concert. We made Posters and stuck them up on poles in the town a week prior to the event. We pulled a big crowd every time, though a lot of work and organization was involved.
                       

Since the legendary English band The Beatles reportedly " broke up" in April 1970, all the music lovers of the world have been pestering the Fab Four to re-unite; to give just One last concert. The entire world regarded The Beatles as " public property" and they owed it to the world to get back together; " perhaps this is the main reason they declined a re-union concert?".

Since the mid 1970s there continues the rumour that The Beatles DID RE-UNITE" to record Five Fabulous albums under the band name KLAATU, and in 1976 I set about with my own investigations into this then mysterious band Klaatu.

 For the next 5 years of my life I gathered the evidence/ connected the connections and documented the many " strange events" that took place during my long journey.

 Soon after Klaatu released their final album Magentalane in 1981, I posted copies of my original draft of "Under an assumed name "to various individuals involved in the Beatles/Klaatu Konspiracy. 

In 1982 I recieved a mystery phone call from an "unidentified" individual who wanted to know a great deal about the "contents" of my manuscript, then titled " Under an assumed name ( the Beatles secret re-union)" and he stated that if "Klaatu were The Beatles" recording annonymously, the Beatle members could face prosecution for "Infringing Copyright laws". 

 He pressed me for what evidence I would be revealing and warned me that if i wasnt careful " I could end up like Lennon- DEAD" ..
                     

Strangely enough, a few weeks prior to John Lennons murder in December 1980 i had recieved another mystery phone call from an "unidentified male" ( by now I was taping my phone calls for security reasons as many strange events were unfolding) who forewarned me about an individual matching Lennons killer profile who was stalking Lennon and that Lennon knew of this individual and was trying to take out a Court order against him.

 He (the caller) explained what the future killer was up to and why Lennon was trying to "silence" him. These startling revealations would certainly provide a more solid motive behind Lennons assassination. More on this later in my blogg. 

In 1984 I stopped pursueing the publication of my manuscript in fear of my life and in 1986 when my marriage broke up, I basically " went underground" and lived with friends and worked a normal day job under my birth name .

I was fighting for my survival after a very emotional divorce and it took quite a number of years before I recovered from the train wreck.

Many years were spent in the wilderness and in 2008 I finally got the opportunity to fullfil one of my lifelong dreams; the chance to write/ record and produce an album of original songs in my own 24 track Home studio. 

And so the UTAALK STUDIO was created and over a 12 month period my 1st album " Stop the world" was created. 
Here's a song from that first album ;

            Stop the world.
                     

After so many vears in the wilderness, I went out and bought some musical instruments and recording equipment and started from scratch.
I play guitar, bass, keyboards, bongos and tambourine. I write the songs and sing all the vocals.

. For a novice, these first Utaalk recordings are classics and showcased the future potential of my recordings; I was on a learning curve. Between 2008 and 2012 I recorded around 40 songs and produced 2 other albums titled " Listen" and "I am here". 
                     

                      

Through the internet my music has been heard by Millions around the world and Utaalks fans continue to grow daily. I may be a poor man and prefer to offer my creations to the world for Free; I am NOT chasing Fame or Fortune. I am happy to know that my music is being heard and appreciated; that's all that matters to me .
Soon I hope to return to Recording all the tunes running around in my head, but first I have this mammoth task of telling my story

" THE GREATEST STORY NEVER TOLD". 
                         

                      

" If the four ex-Beatles decided to get back together as a band, then much evidence can be found to verify the possibility that it may have become a reality. 

"How would they go about a re-union without anyone finding out"? That is the $64 question. 

Throughout my investigation, I kept asking myself "Why would they even consider indulging in such a Konspiracy?" 

As my investigation evolved, many questions were posed and many answers surfaced, no stone ( or Beatle) was left unturned.

 Like the "Paul is Dead" rumour of the mid 60s, clues on album covers and song lyrics were so overwhelming that one has to question the lyric " he blew his mind out in a car".



At a Press Conference in Feb 64, John Lennon was asked 

" How do you account for your phenomenal success?", to which he replied; 

"If we knew, WE WOULD FORM ANOTHER GROUP and be managers". 

This simple candid statement would 16 years later become the starting point of the worlds biggest hoax since the radio broadcast of "War of the Worlds" back in 39.

 In November 73, Paul made the statement "It was only the other 3 ex-beatles attachment to their new manager Allan Klein that prevented him getting together with the others. Now that the other three were sueing Klein, he thought that there could be a Beatles re-union". 

Paul went on to declare "All for ex-Beatles could be working together again, though NOT NECCESSARILY UNDER THE NAME "THE BEATLES". 

Paul has often made similiar statements regarding re-union possibilities, which suggests that he has often given the idea some serious thought.

After The Beatles released their "Abbey Road" album, Paul propsed that "the group should play live concerts before small audiences. Pauls idea was that The Beatles would be billed "Under an assumed name" and that they would simply show up and play.

 John then turned around and told a stunned McCartney that he wanted a divorce from The Beatles.

 After a short heated debate, ALL FOUR BEATLES agreed to the idea that nobody should know the group was finished and that Johns divorce from the group would be kept out of the papers. 

Eight months later, behind Johns back, Paul announced to the Press that HE was leaving the Beatles.

Later on in this story, I shall be taking a look at the suggestion that The Beatles NEVER really broke up but simply changed their Name and that their reported split in 1970 was a HOAX devised by Allan Klein to boost THE BEATLES falling record sales.

The first question that must come to the readers mind must be "Why would the four ex-Beatles even consider inventing such a Konspiracy/hoax?".

 Well, there are a number of reasons; for example: (1) For the sheer fun of it and to fool the whole world".
 (2) As revenge, because they were vastly ripped off and robbed blind by their record lable/ the music industry; especially during the Apple years. (3) To regain their lost wealth. and 
(4) To continue making good music as a group under their new "secret" band name, without the pressure from the public to deliver quality Beatle songs.

 They wanted to evolve as a band and to regain control of their new creations. The Sun Kings had evolved into Cosmic Beings and as a band they had something NEW to sing about, a New Age was dawning on Planet Earth and the time was right for the return of KLAATU.

 The Chariots of the Gods sailed accross the heavens: the exploration of space turned our faces skyward, the 60s turned the world on and a new Collective Consciousness had evolved.

In 1951 Klaatu arrived in a silver spaceship in the Science Fiction film classic "The Day the Earth stood still" and in 1973 he returned to sing about "Hanus of Uranus" and "Sub rosa subway"; which was the first Single released by the mysterious unidentified band KLAATU in 1973 on GRT Records of Canada.



The first time I heard of the band KLAATU came in the form of a newspaper article published in The Sunday Telegraph on March 20th, 1977, with the Headline reading 

" MYSTERY RECORD MAY BE BEATLES COMEBACK". 

"A new rock album called KLAATU has sent rumours echoing through the record industry that THE BEATLES ARE BACK TOGETHER and performing annonymously. 

Critics say KLAATU is so professional and original that iit must have come from top musicians. The UNIDENTIFIED FOUR MAN GROUP produced and composed the albums eight songs and performs them exactly Beatle style.

 Critics swear that the drummer is Ringo Starr and they suspect that the vocals are primarily by Paul McCartney. They say the guitar work is almost identical to that of George Harrison and John Lennon.

Spokesman for Capitol Records, which released the album without fanfare insist THEY HAVE NO INFORMATION at all about the recording stars. But they say that the PRODUCTION of the album must have cost a small fortune and the musicians ARE CLEARLY INDEPENDANTLY WEALTHY. 

Mr Frank Davies, a Canadian Record company executive who is listed as the groups Manager, would NOT solve the mystery, but he said "THE SONGS CONTAINED MANY CLUES TO THE PERFORMERS IDENTITIES".

One of the tracks contains a " morse code message that translate to read STARSHIP APPLE; a possible reference to The Beatles company APPLE CORPS? 

Some say the title "Sub Rosa Subway" is a reference to the Wings album "Red Rose Speedway" which surfaced around the same time? 
                     

Many American critics believe the album is the "missing Beatles" album that was supposed to be released after their Magical Mystery Tour album. 

This "missing" album was withdrawn from release only two weeks before its schedualled release date was called "SUN" and was said to feature a bright YELLOW SUN-( a feature of the Klaatu album cover).
                      

"REVOLUTIONARY".

"The group wants to be known strictly for their music and not for who they are" Mr Davies said.

The four ex-Beatles deny their INVOLVEMENT and refuse to discuss the album. The writer of this article, a MR STEVE SMITH, found significance in the miss spelling of one of the songs, " SIR BODSWORTH RUGGLESBY 111 on the album cover. It is printed as "RUBBLESBY" - Rubble meaning QUARRYING. Before the Beatles were known as THE BEATLES, they were known as THE QUARRYMEN."
                     
After reading the article, I immediately ran out and bought the album and I wasnt disapointed and there was NO DENYING that the songs sounded uncannily like THE BEATLES

. So began my search for the truth to the question "WERE THE EX-BEATLES INVOLVED IN THE RECORDING OF THIS AMAZING ALBUM CALLED KLAATU?".

My journey took me down many long and winding roads; through Penny and Magenta lanes; into Tokemor and Strawberry Fields: and I asked myself who was "The Fool on the Hill"? 

At the time, I was a Freelance Independant Investigative Journalist/Writer and I was making headways into the marketplace; I was writing artcles for various Australian and Overseas publications; appearing as a Celebrity Guest on various Top Australian Television programs; as well as giving Radio Interviews and contributing material to a special Double J RADIO special on ufos.
I was working in all areas of the media between 76 - 86.

  Below is my article "The garden of Eden" which received front page coverage and covered nearly 3 pages.
                 

                   
                     

                 

I was a Celebrity in my own Lunchtime and my "15 MINUTES OF FAME" was ticking away. 

Between 1977 and 1984 I spent almost every spare moment listening to all the recordings of KLAATU / THE BEATLES and the ex-Beatles Solo recordings; reading everything I could get my hands on relating to either THE BEATLES or KLAATU.

 Biographies on Lennon/ McCartney/ Harrison and Starr were all investigated thouroughly for "clues", "Connections" or "Coincidences". Lyrics and song tiles were explored and all in all, many, many strange co-incidences and pieces of the jigsaw began to take shape.
Remember there was no internet and smart phones. I lived at my library, typed letters and only had a home landline phone.

 Musical arrangments and sound production were compared with The Beatles and Klaatu recordings and recording locations uncovered. Recording dates and studios were tracked as a Timeline; the whereabouts of individuals were traced and noted. 

I must have drove my wife away with my Beatles/Klaatu Konspiracy rambling; though I do suspect that some of the strange "cloak and dagger" antics/events frightened her a great deal?

 I believed i was onto THE GREATEST STORY NEVER TOLD and believed that my efforts/work would one day show some rewards.

 I guess that when the "phone threats/warnings" took place, we were both alarmed and fearfull of continuing with the project. 

I felt dejected, 5 years of investigations and over 600 pages of the 1st draft of my manuscript "Under an assumed name" sat alone on the shelf gathering dust. 

Once my marriage broke up soon after, I broke down and walked away, off into the wilderness.

 Fearful of having my manuscript mysteriously go missing or getting stolen, I had a number of copies made up and placed them in various "safe houses". 

During my investigation,my residence was broken into and pieces of recorded evidence were stolen; luckily i still had transcripts of these recordings hidden away. 

For a story that had NO TRUTH to it, it seemed that there existed individuals who "DIDNT" want any of my findings published.?

"ripp off, ripp off, thats the name of the game".

As stated earlier, one of the reason why i believe the ex-Beatles secretly reformed under the KLAATU name, is because they were vastly ripped off as artists. The Beatles first recording contract with EMI paid them ONE PENNY for every Single sold and Sixpence for every album sold. For all their vast Overseas sales they recieved THREE PENCE for every album sold and HALF A PENNY for each Single sold

. Their albums sold in the Millions and the creators of the songs recieved a pittance. 

Once George was asked "What does it feel like to be a Millionaire?" to which he replied " He wasnt, but the Queen was".

 The poor lads busted their balls for a decade and it was the British Tax dept and the Queen whom reaped all the benefits. George would later express his opinions on his excellent song "Taxman" from the Revolver album.

                   

In 1969, the Beatles new manager Allen Klein re-negoitiated their contract with EMI, which gave The Beatles 25% of the wholesale price from all American album and Single sales. Its almost hard to imagine but The Beatles are responsible for over a total worldwide album sales of 100 million and 100million Singles across 220 countries.

 Even with these incredible record sales figures, its believed that The Beatles manager Brian Epstein only made the BEATLES $7 million during the whole time he was their manager.

 During the first year of management by Allen Klien, The Beatles made a staggering $18million dollars or 9 Million pounds; which clearly shows that up to 1969, they were ripped off and robbed blind by the multi-national record companies. 

Their new EMI contract in 1969 was for 7 years, during which time they had to furnish EMI with 14 albums, either as a group or as Solo artists. Fourteen albums over 7 years is a damn heavy workload and they eventually failed to fulfill their contract. Between 69 - 72 they recieved 58cents for each album sold and between 72-76 this increased to 72 cents per album sold.

In 1969, the Beatles own record company APPLE CORPS was declared to be in financial trouble and to help save the company Apple became a Public Company and so began the fight by various outside companies to gain control of the Beatles wealth. 

The Apple Corps holdings were placed on the Stock Market, this permitted anyone to buy shares in the company and whoever owned the most shares controlled the empire. 

Before Apple was declared Bankrupt, each of the Beatles owned 25% of Apple Corps. Apart from the Apple holdings, the Beatles owned two other companies, being "Subafilms" and "Macleans Music". 

Subafilms was 76% owned by Apple Corps. Subafilms owned the film copyrights to the Beatles animated film "Yellow Submarine". Subafilms and submarines, subspace machines and sub rose subway contain many Beatles/Klaatu connections, which include film animation by both parties.

 Compare some of the animation from The Beatles Yellow Submarine film to the Klaatu animated video "Routine Day", the similarities are amazing.

　Klaatu did part produce an animated film titled "Happy New Year Planet Earth" which was produced by the same individual who created the animated video clip of "Seaside Woman" by Linda McCartney; strange connections.

                   

Macleans Music was 20% owned by Apple Corps, whilst Lennon and McCartney owned 40% of the company each. 

You may be asking yourself " why is all this information relevant to the Beatles/Klaatu Konnection"?. The ownership of these companies have direct links to the Music copyright of songs composed by the members of Klaatu, as you will discover in detail as this tome evolves.

And so the stage is set and the arrival of Klaatu on the 1st April at 3.47 EST would once again cause "the Earth to stand still".

 KLAATU would once again cause Mankind to stand up and listen; REALLY LISTEN to what they had to say; yeah, yeah, yeah.

　END OF PART ONE.
