Klaatu (was groovie sci-fi movie)

[sprawl]

I used to be severely into Klaatu.  Sir Army Suit was my favorite.  Followed
by Hope.  There was another,  which was VERY pop.
Sounded like the Beatles again.  I sold it long ago and cannot recall the
title.  One song made it to local radio, The love of a Woman or something
similar.  I have this other album by a group called the dreamies which is a
VERY LSD-trippy take off of SGT PEPPER.
Always thought that might be Klaatu in disguise.

baby
>> I dont care... or was it You Better Believe it?     could have been both.
>> Anyway, did Klaatu ever get any heavier or more inventive after the first
