In 1979 Townshend produced and performed guitar on the novelty single "Peppermint Lump" by Angie on Stiff Records, featuring 11-year-old Angela Porter on lead vocals.
One of the rarest Stiff singles,it was produced by Pete Townshend who also played on it,for child star Angie Porter who had been seen in "Rod Hull & Emu" and one of the Wombles films.
Song was written by an Eel Pie staff writer,James Asher,though no details ever emerged of other songs and he was more noted for making library albums.
Pete's guitar, appropriate sound effects, and Angie's untrained voice all combine to make it a welcome break from sleek mass-produced pulp. It's unpretentious and very English!
The band played on the B side as "Angie's Orchestra" and included a couple of members of Pete's brother Simon's "On The Air",who later formed half of Big Country.
