"Recover" is the debut and fourth single by Welsh rock band The Automatic, taken from their debut album Not Accepted Anywhere.[3] Originally released on 21 November 2005 as a limited 7" vinyl, CD single and digital download,[4] it was re-released on 18 September 2006[5] as the band's record labels, B-Unique & Polydor, believed it could perform better and reach a larger audience after the band's success with previous single "Monster".[6]
The track was originally recorded in 2005 at the Elevator Studios in Liverpool, with Ian Broudie as producer;[7] this version was featured on the 21 November 2005 release, as well as on the Raoul EP and the UK version of Not Accepted Anywhere. The re-recording of "Recover" took place in Monnow Valley Studio in Monmouth, with Richard Jackson as producer. Both recordings were mixed by Stephen Harris. For the USA release of Not Accepted Anywhere the Ian Broudie mix was used, but it was remastered by Leon Zervos at Sterling Sound in New York City, and re-mixed by Mark Needham.[8]
The song’s about being a waster and trying to motivate yourself into doing something better than sit in front of the television
— Rob Hawkins discusses the lyrics of "Recover"[9]
Releaseedit
The song was performed live on The Friday Night Project's third season, making The Automatic the first band to make a return performance after they performed their single "Raoul" the season before.[10][11]
