Something Else from the Move is a five-track live EP by the English pop band the Move, released on 21 June 1968 through Regal Zonophone. The Move established themselves with a series of singles that reached the top-five in the UK singles chart, generating hype for an album. After rumours about a live LP began circulating, the Move's manager Tony Secunda pitched an idea about recording an EP of live performances at the Marquee Club in central London.

Reflecting the Move's setlist on stage, Something Else from the Move is exclusively made up of covers of songs by contemporary pop bands such as Love and 1950s singers such as Eddie Cochran. The EP has an eclectic blend between rockabilly and psychedelic music. - Wikipedia

“Well, I called my congressman
And he said, quote:
"I'd like to help you, son
But you're too young to vote"

Summertime Blues – Five performances but it all began with one man. A salute to Eddie Cochran. #MusicisLife #TedTocksCovers #EddieCochran #BlueCheer #TheWho #BrianSetzer #Rush

It is difficult to fathom that the genre of rock n’ roll and its vast spectrum of performers has only existed for sixty three years, give or take. Many artists have made immense contributions…
