Releases information

2xCDS Bullseye (BLR-CD-2515)
This double CD set (Maybe, the final testament of Klaatu) contains a lot of rare tracks including the full Orchestral Mixes of their most rated Hope album. All tracks are faithfully restored and digital remastered. The 2 booklets show rare pics next to a lot of information for nearly each track.

Thanks to Abominog for the addition
and to Guest for the last updates

4 stars The Sun Set is the final testament of Klaatu.
