Wizzard’s "Angel Fingers (A Teen Ballad)" backed with "You Got the Jump on Me", was released as a 7-inch vinyl single in the UK by Harvest Records (catalog number HAR 5076) on August 24, 1973.

The track was written and produced by Roy Wood, it became Wizzard's second and final UK number one hit, topping the UK Singles Chart for one week in September 1973 and peaking at number seven in Ireland. The song is a nostalgic tribute to 1950s and early 1960s rock 'n' roll, channeling the "Wall of Sound" production style of Phil Spector with its layered instrumentation, including brass, strings, and backing vocals by the Bleach Boys and the Suedettes.

It was released on Harvest Records in the UK (HAR 5076) and EMI in Germany, with vinyl variants noted for different sleeve designs.
