"Pepper Tree" was one of the two B-sides on The Spangle Maker, the EP Cocteau Twins put out on 4AD in April 1984, tucked in behind a longer cut of "Pearly-Dewdrops' Drops". It also marks the band's new shape: the EP was the first recording released after bassist Simon Raymonde joined, and his name sits beside Elizabeth Fraser's and Robin Guthrie's on the writing credit.
The Scottish band produced it themselves. It was recorded at Palladium Studios in Edinburgh, with Jon Turner on the recording credit, and mixed at Rooster in West London by Drostan John Madden, who also engineered. Like both of its EP mates, it found a place in the band's live set.
