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. The recordings were taped by producer Denny Cordell at two separate performances in February and May 1968. Technical difficulties forced the band to re-record certain aspects of their performance.
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. Upon original release in June 1968, the EP was advertised as a "Mini-LP" as it was played at 33 ⅓ RPM. It was the first release by the Move that failed to chart in the UK, leading to speculation regarding the band's decreasing popularity. It received primarily positive reviews. The EP has been reissued twice, in 1999 and 2016, with added bonus tracks as extra content.
