3:47 EST is the first album released by the Canadian group Klaatu, in August 1976. When released by Capitol Records in America, it was renamed "Klaatu". 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 items such as electric Sitars. The cover was painted by a longtime friend of the band, the talented graphic artist Ted Jones. It was nominated for a Juno Award because of this.
