3:47 EST
''3:47 EST'' is the first album by the Canadian progressive rock group Klaatu, released in August 1976. The album was renamed ''Klaatu'' when released in the United States by Capitol Records. It is regarded as one of the band's greatest albums (along with ''Hope''), using the same kind of Beatlesque psychedelic rock (in the style of ''Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'' and ''Magical Mystery Tour''), with a few new additions; most notably vocal distortion, more backwards instruments, and some obscure musical instruments such as electric sitars. The Juno-nominated album cover was painted by a friend of Klaatu's members, the Canadian graphic artist, Ted Jones.
For a variety of reasons, rumours spread in the wake of the album's release that Klaatu were, in fact, a secretly reunited Beatles. The album was moderately successful in the United States, largely as a result of the Beatles rumours.〔Dave Marsh and John Swenson, ''Rolling Stone Record Guide'', Random House 1979〕
A high-quality newly remastered version of the album was released on Klaatu's indie record label "Klaatunes" in 2011. To accompany this release, a music video was made for the remastered version of "Calling Occupants".〔(Klaatu's official website homepage )〕
==Origin of the title==
In the 1951 science fiction film ''The Day the Earth Stood Still'', the alien emissary Klaatu arrives in Washington, D.C. at 3:47 in the afternoon Eastern Standard Time. According to a 1981 issue of the group's newsletter, "one of the band's member() viewed a screening ... and was immediately impressed by the appropriateness of the character Klaatu's arrival time on earth as the title of the band Klaatu's debut record album".〔(''The Morning Sun'', Fall, 1981 - Issue No. V ). Retrieved 2011-07-14 (Bastille Day).〕
