He produced their album Chameleon and sang backing vocals on it:

In 1999 the album was re-released on CD with a new title: Sunshine Possibilities:

John S Stuart mentioned it here: http://queenforum.parlophone.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=29166  
a few years ago but I've never seen it mentioned in any official discography (or I just didn't notice it)

It says that the album 'Chameleon' was a Peter Richard production.

Anyway, I find it quite strange that nobody recorded them in that early days... Reading the Early Years book, it seems that he had some sort of success with his early groups...
