Something Else from The Move is a live EP by The Move.

It was recorded at London's Marquee Club in 1968, and released later that year. It was re-released as a mini album CD with four bonus tracks in 1999.

The tracks feature vocals which were overdubbed later. This was because the microphones had not functioned properly during the show onto tape, which required the extra work. These were done in a one-take "as live" fashion. According to the Movements boxed set, examination of the master tapes of the complete Marquee Club performance reveals why Something Else consists entirely of cover songs, as well as why it was an EP and not an LP album: all the tracks not included on the original EP album are of noticeably lower sound quality, and the tracks capturing original The Move songs (among them "Fire Brigade" and "Flowers in the Rain") in particular are of such poor quality that they are almost unlistenable.

Gary Wright American musician and composer

Gary Malcolm Wright is an American singer, songwriter, musician, and composer best known for his 1976 hit songs "Dream Weaver" and "Love Is Alive", and for his role in helping establish the synthesizer as a leading instrument in rock and pop music. Wright's breakthrough album, The Dream Weaver (1975), came after he had spent seven years in London as, alternately, a member of the British blues rock band Spooky Tooth and a solo artist on A&M Records. While in England, he played keyboards on former Beatle George Harrison's triple album All Things Must Pass (1970), so beginning a friendship that inspired the Indian religious themes and spirituality inherent in Wright's subsequent songwriting. His work since the late 1980s has embraced world music and the new age genre, although none of his post-1976 releases has matched the popularity of The Dream Weaver.

Recovery: Live! is a live album released by the American hard rock band Great White originally in 1988. Several versions of the album were released, with variations in both covers and track listings. The US version features five cover songs recorded direct-to-2-track in 1986, as well as five live songs from 1983. The CD release added the songs from the EP On Your Knees as a bonus, though another version of the CD exists that lists the EP, but does not actually contain it. It only contains the ten songs found on the original vinyl LP, and has a different mastering than the 15-track disc. The ten track CD variation is the Columbia Record Club edition. The European release replaces tracks 6–10 with five songs from a 1987 Marquee show. The Japanese version is a strange hybrid and includes five tracks from the US version, two tracks from the Live at the Ritz promo CD, and five studio tracks from the Shot In The Dark and Once Bitten albums.
