The Spangle Maker is an EP by Scottish band Cocteau Twins, released on 4AD in April 1984. It was the first recording to be issued after bassist Simon Raymonde joined the band. The 1984 release features a longer version of "Pearly-Dewdrops' Drops", and two b-sides: "The Spangle Maker" and "Pepper-Tree", while the 1991 CD release adds the shorter 7-inch version of "Pearly-Dewdrops' Drops". All three songs appeared in the band's live set.
