2013. Wild women on top




In March 2013 I worked as a Volunteer for the Fred Hollows Foundation as a field co-coordinator at their "Wild women on Top" 50km charity challenge.

The finishing line was at Coogee Beach and my role was to set up some tents and arrange the food and drink tent for all the athletes taking part in the run.

I worked from 3pm till around 2am, when many of the runner's crossed the finishing line.

Whilst waiting for the runner's , around 7pm all staff and volunteers shared some hot chicken and chips for dinner. 

After dinner the entire 12 of us decided to play a game called Celebrity Head, where we blindly pick a name out of a hat, stick it on our forehead. Each person has to ask the next person a question as to who they are.

I asked " am I male?" Yes was the reply.

I asked "am I an actor?" Yes was the reply.

"Am I English?". No was the reply.

Before I got to identify the name on my forehead the supervisor called an end to the game.

I reached up and took a look at my celebrity name on my forehead to discover it was KEANU REEVES.

I said to the girl next to me what a strange coincidence it was because in my pocket I had an item linked to Keanu Reeves.

I reached into my pocket and pulled out a copy of my debut CD.


I said " The name UTAALK is KLAATU backwards and Keanu Reeves played the alien called KLAATU in the recent remake of the 1951 film The day the Earth stood still.


She was like myself blown away by the strange unbelievable coincidence.

A few days later I received a email informing me that I had been invited to attend a Thank You Lunch with CEO Gabby Hollows along with 5 other volunteers.


On Wednesday 13th March 2013 I attended Gabbys Thank You Lunch at the classy The Deck restaurant on Sydney harbour.


It was a wonderful lunch, fine food and wine and wonderful chit chat around the table. Gabby gave us all a couple of Commemorative Fred Hollow coins as a reward for our contribution.




After a great 3 hour lunch, Gabby asked me if I would like a lift home as she was aware we lived near each other ; she live in Randwick and I lived in nearby Waverley.
I replied " that would be great".
During the 40 minute drive home we chatted and when she dropped me off outside my place I gave her a copy of my UTAALK CD and said if I can assist THE FRED HOLLOWS FOUNDATION in any way then please let me know.

Around a week later I received a phone call from one of Gabbys staffers , who invited me to work in their Donations Mail Room as a Volunteer, which I immediately accepted. 

The Mail Room consisted of a supervisor (Fran) and 4 volunteers. We opened each letter or parcel and tallied all the cash and cheque donations. 

They were a great bunch of folks to work with and have fond memories of Peter and Lola.
We worked and socialized with each other for around 2 years. We worked 9am till 1pm every Tuesday and Thursday.

 Often Gabby would pop into the room to say hello to us all, what a caring woman she was to us.
I'm grateful to have share some time with Gabby and to have worked as a Volunteer for Fred's cause.
He was a true humanitarian.



In 2015 I was forced to cease my work with the organization due to health reasons.

In June of 2013 Gabby Hollows received a Queens Birthday award "The Order of Australia".

I'm thankful for the sharing some time with such caring and compassionate human beings.

Watching the Wheels


WATCHING THE WHEELS 

 Here I am on the 1st October 2020 passing my day by writing a New blogg. I'm not sure what I will write but here I go again.

I'm approaching my 72nd year on this three dimensional plane and I wonder what will be my legacy, what will I be remembered for?
"Has my life had purpose and what have I learnt?".

Now in my Sunset Years, I'm sitting here just Watching the Wheels go around and around.
Each day is just Another Day and Tomorrow never knows.






There's little to do and all the time in the world to do it.
I'm single by choice and live alone at a place I call home.
I read and write and try to live a stress free existence.

I'm daily battling cancer , a failing kidney and Parkinson's disease and I live "One day at a time".

I'm in constant pain and believe my time is running out. I refuse to go to hospital as there is little they can do to stop the cancer or my only kidney from failure.
 
Lately the cancer has eaten a hole in my back and its draining my energy. My only kidney has become a constant dull pain and giving me hot flushes . 
I feel that I may lose my battle anytime now and these may be my last words.





I'm not undergoing any medical treatment for both my health issues and try to eat healthy and live a healthy lifestyle.
I rarely drink alcahol and prefer to self medicate with a variety of herbs.

I have a small hand full of friends whom I share my thoughts and conversations with, which I value dearly.

For health reasons  I wish I could giving up  My one addiction, the ciggies.

I rarely go out and socialise, pubs and clubs only hold a temptation to drink and gamble and I can't afford either. Booze damages my health and gambling destroys my financial well-being.

Sex has become non existent and at the age of 71 I no longer have the desire to waste my time to try to find someone that excites me. Not thinking with my dick anymore is a great relief and I can focus on
Living.  

One's greatest achievements in life should be the discovery of the "Love of the self and all of creation".  



Utaalk "Love".


Looking Back.

Ever since taking my first LSD trip in 1968 I have been searching for the Meaning of Life.
I devoted many years of my life reading 100s of Esoteric books and material on Philosophy , Religion, Ancient cultures and their belief systems, Aliens, Space and Time, Reincarnation, Astral Travel, Mind body and Spirit and Death, to name just a few.

During the mid 1970s I meditated inside a home built Pyramid aligned with crystals and magnetic fields.

During my meditation I began receiving images of the past and the future and made notes on my experiences.
These notes became the the contents of my first published article titled "A Psychic Unfoldment".


In the article I made a number of Psychic predictions that became a reality soon after their publication..

The article also covered my encounter with a grounded flying saucer back in the 1960s.
My alien encounters began when I was just seven years old in the small NSW town of Bombala.

These Alien encounters took place every 7 years with the last one being in 2019. I was then forewarned of a coming Pandemic and Cyber War and a push to Depopulate the Earth by 2025'.

Even today I question whether the encounters were real, reality can often deceive the observer.
I have documented these encounters in Blogg form and can be found at the following

brianfcooper.blogspot.com

."Was this my destiny, to work as a Psychic or a Freelance Writer?".

Trying to expose the Cover up on UFO's and Aliens resulted in threats and being discredited as a Looney.

My personal encounters with aliens proved their existence and eventually I gave up my research on the topic. I discovered my truth from my personal contact and that's all I needed. I couldn't give a damn what anyone else believes.
My truth is all that matters.

I ended up devoting around 9 years of my life as a Freelance Writer, writing a variety of articles for various publications under the name " John Squire". My work was published globally and my 15 minutes of Fame achieved.  My work appeared in magazines, books and newspapers around the Earth.
Some "off planet" entities even took an interest and my work has become cosmic folklore.

In 1986 I quit writing due to the censorship of my material and threats against my life.
Certain individuals wanted me silenced concerning a story I was researching, so I went underground for 22 years, until 2008.

The story I was researching and writing became "THE GREATEST STORY NEVER TOLD" and can be found at the following link

www.utaalkbackwards.blogspot.com


I spent 6 years researching and writing the above story and hid it away in 1986 until I decided to publish it in Blogg form in 2015.
I wandered in the wilderness for 29years before self publishing.

My work has always been criticised and yet I stand by everything I have written or said. My journey and experiences are my own and no one can take that away from me.

All my life I have sought The Meaning of Life; to discover enlightenment and to find purpose.
I wanted to contribute to the evolution of the species and bring Light to the darkness of ignorance. 

After 71 years of searching for answers to all of life's questions I have concluded that life is just a "state of consciousness".

"Without ME being conscious of reality, then does anything really exist?"

"I THINK THEREFORE I AM, I THINK".



Utaalk "I am here".

We all have our own journeys in life and trying to make any sense of it all can distract one from understanding its lesson and purpose. 
It's not until we grow old and retire do we have the time to reflect and analyze all the jig saw pieces. 
Pieces of forgotten memories consume one's thoughts and emotions flutter like the wings of a butterfly.

Time Travelling backwards and forward, one has to question what is real or just one's imagination or perception of the events. 

Memories are all we have as we grow old and fade into obscurity
I'm consumed by the music of my generation and my heroes are all dead and gone. 
The modern world bores me and the threat from AI ( artificial intelligence) scares me. 

"2020".
THE YEAR THE EARTH STOOD STILL".

The current questionable Pandemic has shut the world down and left many living in a Fear society and not a Free society. 
Lockdown have imprisoned those that seek to protest or March over issues of injustices and corrupt leadership.
Freedom of Speech is no longer a Right and those that stick their neck up to speak out soon lose their heads.

Those running this world at the moment are brutal  and prepared to squash any opposition to their plans. The future looks very bleak and the people of Earth need to face governance by a  New World Order.

Perhaps the old corrupt system needs to be demolished and a World Government could be an evolutionary process? 
Change is inevitable and we need to welcome change and face the Brave New World ahead.

A "Cashless" world is planned by 2025 .
This co-incidents with a Depopulation plan of around 25percent by 2025. 
The release of various virus's over the next 4 years shall kill off many and a more sustainable global population achieved.

Perhaps like the Biblical Flood, the culling of humanity is a good thing and will help achieve a sustainable world for those surviving these events.?

As humans we can't keep reproducing, we need global birth control and to cull those that are unproductive and a burden on the system.

Perhaps a global introduction of an EUTHANASIA program would help and assist those whom no longer wish to live because of personal health issues.?
The world needs such radical changes if the race is to survive.

The world of tomorrow is determined by making the right decisions today.

To close on a Positive Note, let the Light and Love flow through you and become "The river of Light".

The End.

MADE ME CRY

"Made me Cry."


Here I sit on the 1st October 2020 feeling down and lonely after losing 2 close friends recently. 
I'm now alone in a world I no longer want to be in.

Parkinson's disease has taken away my ability to create music and even writing a Blogg has become difficult as my right hand shakes so much.

The cancer on my back and over my spine has become inoperable and I'm in constant pain.
I smoke a little weed to reduce my constant pain.
I tried using alcahol but it only makes me sick.

Life has become unbearable and the joy of life is fading away.

I have no girlfriend or boyfriend to confide in and therefore no emotional support.

All my siblings live hundreds of miles away and have their own problems to deal with, and most of them are unaware of my situation.

The great gig
In the sky

Suicide often crosses my mind but I suspect my time is running out with my current health issues. Regardless of everything I believe I must remain strong and live One day at a time.

My body is weak and my Spirit wants to fly away.

Lazarus

Growing old and having serious health issues is a real pain in the arse and yet I must deal with the reality the best I can.
If my health issues don't kill me then I'm sure to die from the boredom.

All things must pass

Part 4. Like ships in the night

Part 4


"1981 - 1986".

It's the 30th April 2020 as I write this, I'm in Lockdown in Sydney, Australia. It's a cold and rainy day and in the background I have The Best of Supertramp playing.
Perhaps this Coronavirus will turn out to be " The crime of the century".?

I believe it's Biological Warfare or Agenda 21 ( depopulation control) taking place and it will result in a global revolution breaking out.
Democracy and Freedom of Speech has been taken away and Human Rights almost becoming non existent.
I had a dream a few nights ago and I was told in the dream that a stronger 2nd Wave of the virus will arrive this November 2020.

These are dark times and we must learn to live " One day at a time" and count our blessings each day.

One day at a time


After 3 & a half years of constant media exposure I decided to concentrate on my major project, being the researching and writing of " The greatest story never told".

I had already spent 3 years investigating the true identities of the members of the mysterious band KLAATU.

During this time I had assembled over 300 pages of data on the subject, so I felt it essential I complete the project.

Remember in 1981 we didn't have the internet, so I spent a lot of my research in various libraries.
I read everything on the Beatles and checked all their individual activities between 1973 - 1981.

Their movements and locations were checked against the Dates and locations of the Klaatu studio recordings.

The more information I uncovered , the more I became convinced of a conspiracy of some sort.

"We're The Beatles involved with the recordings of Klaatu" or was it a "scam invented by Capital Records and the management of Klaatu?".

I believed that " if The Beatles" we're involved then I was sitting on "The greatest story never told".

In late 1981 Klaatu released the fifth and final album titled "Magentalane".


I received a complimentary copy of the album in January 1982 direct from Capitol Records in Canada.


The album has to be one of the finest produced albums of all time and features a variety of well crafted songs.

I remember that it was around March 81 that I received a phone call from some one claiming to be the Klaatu member TERRY DRAPER.
We chatted for about 15 minutes and I asked him if "he had any plans to visit Sydney, Australia?".
He replied, " I may make it there early next year", being 1982.

On the 1st April 1980 ( April  Fools Day) I received the below pic of the Klaatu members from Capitol Records in Los Angeles.

 I phoned the company and asked "whom had sent me the pic because there was no other info attached with the photo?" The said "they had no idea and questioned why I should have been sent the pic"?

They claimed that " they had NO pics of the band at all".

At that time " there existed No official pics of Klaatu and none appeared until late 81 when their pics featured on the sleeve notes of their "Magentalane" album.


Terry Draper is featured on the right and could be mistaken for George Harrison, which is demonstrated in the below pic.




The profiles pics of Paul MCCartney and John Lennon also look like the other two featured in the Klaatu pic.
Even Ringo is featured in the Klaatu pic in the background as a "shooting Starr".

Similar Art Work can also be found on the John Lennon "Mind Games" album.


Both the Klaatu pic and Lennon cover are "divided down the middle ( Earth and Sky); feature a Profile pic and 2 planets.
In fact, when mapped out both are strangely almost identical.

Out of the Blue

"Are the similarities purely coincidental"?

On Monday the 22nd March 82 George Harrison arrived in Sydney for a 1 night stop over on his way to Victoria to visit his friend , racing car driver "Alan Jones".
 ( Srangely I had met Mr Jones in the Sydney City RSL club a week earlier and we spent some time together chatting, drinking and playing the pokies).

Faster

As soon as I knew Harrison was in town I kept check of his movements through various media sources and contacts.

On his arrival in Sydney  I walked down to Coogee to check my Private Post Office box.  To my surprise, a parcel with Canadian Stamps on it awaited me. Inside I found a Poster of Klaatu's "Endangered Species" album.

Sell out, sell out.

( Strangely, when the Klaatu members finally revealed their identities on this album they became the "Endangered Species".
" We're the members forced to "Sell Out" before Capitol Records gave them permission to record their 4th album?".
It's believed that the Klaatu members didn't play on the album and that studio musicians were brought in to record the music. Klaatu were brought in to record the vocals only.


What was strange was the fact that the parcel had come all the way from Canada yet the " stamps hadn't been franked". I asked the Post Office guy "what are the chances of this happening?" & he said it was a "million to one chance".



I
 remembered my phone call with Terry Draper and his suggestion that he may visit Sydney in early 1982 & wondered if their was a connection? 

"Did Harrison on his one day in Sydney personally visit the Coogee Post Office and have it placed in my Private PO box?".

To me it seemed more than purely coincidental and clearly suggested that perhaps "Harrison and Draper" may be one and the same.

Around a week later I received a tip off that Harrison was on a plane flying to his home on Hamilton Island.
After 2 hours I phoned Hamilton Island ( they had just 1 main switchboard and I said " I believe that Mr Harrison had just arrived there and can she put me through to him?".

The phone rang and then a voice said "hello". I replied "can I speak with Mr Harrison please? "
"Speaking" George replied.
I told him my name and said I was writing a book on the rumour "that Klaatu were The Beatles" & wanted to ask if he would be interested in reviewing my findings?"

He said he was aware of my work and I should send a copy to his address in England and he would take a read of it when he got back home.
He gave me his address and I said thanks and said I looked forward to hearing back.

Three and a half years later on the 22nd November 1985 I received a reply from Harrison's legal management.


I felt disappointed by the letter and decided to continue on with my work.

Whilst waiting for Harrison's reply, in 1982 I self published my own magazine called " The Utaalk Report".

Only One issue saw the light of day.


Never having the funds to get it printed professionally and promoted professionally, it failed in receiving much exposure.
As usual I just wanted to design and write the contents of my own publication even if it cost me time and money. I needed to expand my skills and write about other subjects.

I became a member of The Spacecraft Research Foundation based in the USA and developed an interest in Anti Gravity propulsion. Through the FOI act I obtained copies of patents on "antigravity devices/machines" & passed them onto the SRF.
Around this time I received the below publication in the mail , anonymously.


"Like trying to make
Concrete float".

( Coincidently, on the Klaatu song "Maybe I'll move to Mars" they sing " we have built a ship that floats on gravity".


Maybe I'll move
to Mars

Both songs were recorded around the same time

My numerous UFO/ ALIEN encounters up to this moment inspired me to learn how these craft were possibly powered.


 I read dozens of publications on the topic and learnt as much as I could. This was all pre-internet, so libraries became a source of info.

My next media exposure didn't come until July 1983 when the below article was published.





No9 Dream

The magazine is a UK publication and read by fans all around the world.

In September 1983 JAMM MAGAZINE published the below article written by Louis Edwards.



Even after 3 years of Klaatu members declaring their identity, many in the media were still suspicious and suspected a Scam of some sort had taken place.


"Why did Capitol Records withdraw all the albums by Klaatu off the global market soon after their identities were declared"?.
"Did they suspect that their identities weren't real?"
"Why did Capitol Records threaten to sue the band for "false representation and copyright infringement?".

So many unanswered questions and strange coincidences.

On the 4th April 1984, the following article " Five secret Beatle albums found" was published in the Star Enquirer. It was written by a Brad Turner.


The article mentions a rumoured " missing Beatles album" , a follow up album to their " Magical Mystery Tour" album.
Perhaps the below may have been the projected album cover?


My final social presence for some time came in 1985 when I was featured in the below book.





For the full story " THE GREATEST STORY NEVER TOLD" visit the below link


Although Bill shot me down on a number of points/errors I was blown away to be featured in his excellent book.
My work was finally featured in a book which was published globally.

At this time when the future still looked promising my wife declared " I still love you but I'm no longer "in love" with you".
She then asked for a divorce and asked me to move out immediately.
The marriage had been on the rocks for some time and it had become pain full to be together.
For my own emotional stability I packed a few clothes and left.

If she was no longer in love with me, then there was no point in staying together.
I still love my wife and as Sting sang " if you love somebody, then set them free".
So I did.

3. Like ships in the night.

Part 3

"1978 - 1980"

Calling Occupants.

All those years ago life was exciting and adventurous and the future looked bright.

As I type this it's 24th March 2020 & I'm in Lockdown in Sydney, Australia due to a global pandemic due to the coronavirus.
I'm trying to "self isolate", staying indoors and avoiding human contact. It's a scary world out there at the moment.

In Part I of this Blog I covered my musical history during the 1960s and my many encounters with famous people.

In Part 2 I detailed my history as a Freelance Writer and multi media personality during 76-77.
Life was Fast and Furious and wondered what was next.

I didn't have to wait long before my first media exposure for 1978 took place, in the form of the below article published in Ram magazine on the 27th January.




The first time I heard of Klaatu was on the 20th March  1977 when I read an article published in Sunday Telegraph newspaper titled "Mystery record May be Beatles comeback?".
The article was a reproduction of the below article by Steve Smith published some months earlier in the USA.


In my pieces in the Ram article I'm refered to as their "intergalactic looney" , which I take as a compliment.
In the article I make references to songs from the bands 2nd album "Hope" but first let's take a listen to the Beatlesque song "Subrosa Subway" from their debut album.


At the end of my Ram article I state "there will be a sign on their 3rd album "Sir Army Suit"  to verify all information I have given is correct and that it was given to me by Klaatu".

Six months later "Sir Army Suit" was released and it featured the songs "Cherie" and "Dear Christine".
Strangely or co-incidentally, "Cherie" was my wife's name and "Christine" the name of my sister.
"Is it just co-incidence or was I receiving telepathic data from Klaatu?".

Cherie

Since I read the original Sunday Telegraph article in March 77, I began researching the rumour that "Klaatu could be The Beatles".
My research took 6 years and in 1983 I sought the publication of my findings.


 I self produced 100 copies of the above 36paged Promo booklet and posted them to various publishers around the globe.
Months later a couple of publishers expressed an interest but later declined for "legal reasons".
It was around this time that I received a"warning and death threat" against me and was instructed to be careful about what I reveal.
In 1986 when my marriage fell apart, I went "underground" and placed copies of my manuscript into a number of "safe houses".
Finally 29years later , in 2015 I self published my Story in a 10 Part Blogg , now titled; "The greatest story never told".


For the full story visit;

utaalkbackwards.blogspot.com

On the 2nd March I received the below letter from Tony Barrell at "Double Jay radio inviting me to call him to set up a meeting.


I phoned him immediately and we agreed to meet a couple of days later.
On the day, we spent around 5 hours in a studio recording a discussion on Ufo's . He asked me many questions on the subject and I answered the best I could; we kept a tape recording all the time.
We also discussed my research on the mysterious band Klaatu.

Tony said he would edit it down to around 3 hours and planned to broadcast it asap.
Today I can't recall hearing the broadcast but several months later I heard that Tony had mysteriously died.

On the 2nd June, Ram magazine published another article of mine titled "CIA blows gaff on space visitors".

 

The article relates to the story of two CIA operatives meeting with a captured extraterrestial and what the alien had to say about the human race.  The alien claims that many of his kind hold places in high positions on Earth and that they have been living amongst humans for a long time. He said that if his race decided to invade Earth, humans wouldn't know it was happening.

Several months later I received a copy from the author of the following book.


The author Stan Deyo claims to have worked for the CIA and believed certain governments were building "flying saucers" based on alien technology from captured craft.
He claimed a New World Order would be set up after " a false alien invasion" is staged.

 Sounds like vision of the year 2020, taking place whilst billions are in Lockdown, indoors.
After reading the book, I managed to contact him by phone and I thanked him for the book. He said he was aware of my work as a Ufologist and wished me well in my endeavors.


During September, the Psychic Australia magazine published a 2nd article of mine titled "Alien recordings".


The article covered my research into the mysterious band KLAATU and asked " we're they really aliens?".
In their song "Around the universe in 80 days"  they invite us to " come aboard my ship" and declare "Our planet is the 2nd from the Sun", take a listen.

Klaatu 
In November 78 , the international publication "The UFO Report" published my below article "Rock of Ages".


Again, this article was on the mysterious band KLAATU .
I make the suggestion that based on their song "Little Neutrino" that perhaps "aliens" are trying to communicate with Earthlings via "neutrinos"?
"Perhaps it's just a personal insight into future technology?".

Little Neutrino

This article gave me international exposure and decided to take some time off from media exposure and instead to devote more time to researching The Klaatu mystery.

It wasn't until the 27th December 79 that my next article appeared in the "Australasian Post" magazine.
It was published nationally and gave my name a great deal of media exposure.


The article suggests a big cover-up by NASA regarding their discoveries in space; their Lunar and Mars exploration.
During their Moon landings they were visited by numerous "alien craft", whilst on Mars they discovered the remains of ancient cities.
 (During the 90s I Astral travelled to Mars and discovered huge underground cities)

I believe our own Solar System is teaming with intelligent life.

1980.

My first article for 1980 was published in March in the new "New Age" magazine
"ZIRIUZ".


The article posed the question " Is the Earth hollow?"
It presents evidence and research that supports the possibility.
Being a new "New Age" publication it gave me a new readership/audience and expanded my fan base. ( Yes I had fans and received fan mail often).

Journey to the centre
of the Earth

In April Ziriuz published my 2nd article "Is 1980 the year of the Anti-Christ".


The article was based on Numerology, whereby the numbers 1+9+8+0 added up to 18.
6+6+6 = 18
In the Bible it claims the number of the Beast in 666.

Today I believe The Beast" resides within us all and that Heaven and Hell is here on Earth and can often just be a "state of mind".
World religion has not given mankind Enlightenment but instead enslaved us into a false reality.
Individually we create our own reality by our deeds  and actions.
No God is going to save you from your destiny/fate, only you can save yourself.
Later in April Ziriuz published my third article "Sunspots, cancer and natural disasters", which I now longer have a copy of.
Over the years I have moved house dozens of times and some of my history has been lost forever.

In June 1980 the below reproduction  was also published in the New Zealand publication "KOSMON NEWS".


The people of the Snow White Cloud and sheep thought I was trying "to pull the wool over their eyes".
They even threatened to "baa" me.

It was great to see my work published in other countries.

My third article "Sydney's disease: Air Pollution" was published in July .


In 1980 Sydney, Australia was the 3rd most polluted city in the world.
This article explores some of the issues and offers solutions to these problems.
We need to take care of Mother Earth so that she can take care of us.

Julian Lennon .
Saltwater

On the 17th September " Pix/People magazine published the below article titled "The Beatles are back".


This article written by David Naylor whom interviewed me in depth has more revelations on the identity of the mysterious band Klaatu.
It suggests that the bands debut album may be a missing Beatles album titled
"SUN"


When the band released their 4th album "Endangered Species" in 1980 the albums sleeve notes declared that Klaatu were" Terry Draper, Dee Long and John Woloshuk".


Strangely, these musicians never played on the album and were only brought in to record the vocals.
Soon after the release of the album, Capitol Records turned on the band and withdrew the sales of all their 4 albums around the world.
Rumours circulated that Capitol Records was threatening to sue Klaatu for "false representation".

The band fled back to Canada and recorded their final album "Magentalane", which was only released in Canada.


Soon after this release, they individually fled to the " 3 corners of the globe.
Like the titled of the 4th album "Endangered Species", they were the "Endangered Species".

For the full Story on Klaatu visit the below for my 10 P art series
"THE GREATEST STORY
NEVER TOLD".

utaalkbackwards.blogspot.com

A few days after the above article was published, according to my records, I gave an interview on Radio 2SM, Sydney.
I was interviewed on the subject of "Klaatu", though I can't recall by whom.

On the 9th October, the below article featured "Front Page coverage and a two and half page spread".
The article was published nationally in the popular  " Australasian Post".





It was great to end 1980 with some national exposure and wondered what the future would bring. 

In December 1980 we lost the great John Lennon whom was charting all around the world with;



Starting Over

Part 4 will certainly reveal some exciting developments, so please stay tuned.

It's April 11th 2020 and I'm still in Lockdown after 3 weeks indoors.

Everyone stay safe.
