Though the song was received with relative indifference, there was an evident hint at something special. They managed to get the single released on Frank Davies' Daffodil Records here, with distribution stateside on Island Records. They remembered Draper, and in late '74, he was brought in for the recording of "California Jam". At this point, it was realized that if the group was going to go any further, they'd have to replace the philosophy of using session drummers with a regular percussionist. Brown had that released as an EP as well, backed with Long's "For You Girl", a track that never appeared on vinyl anywhere else. That same year saw Woloschuk pen the infamous "Dr Marvello". With the two tracks, Brown managed to get a 7" single released through GRT Records. By March a second track was put on tape, "Sub Rosa Subway". The guys recorded "Hanus Of Uranus" in January of '73, a rocking epic penned by Long with Brown and Doug Riley producing. Woloschuk got together with Long, with the initial intention of making Klaatu a non-touring group. It was there that he met Terry Brown, a producer on his way up, whose later credits would include, among others, Rush and Max Webster. While Long was in and out of bands the next few months, Woloschuk was gaining invaluable experience working at Toronto Sound recording studios. But when things fell apart a little over a year later, they all pretty much went their seperate ways. After the demise of that band, the two then formed Mudcow in the summer of 1971, along with Long and Jamie Bridgman. From there Long joined a local group called Bloodstone, while Draper and Woloschuk released an independant single under the name Whitemail.

The earliest roots of Klaatu began in the late 60's when Terry Draper, Dee Long and John Woloschuk all played in different local Toronto groups, when they met at a high school battle of the bands contest.
