Released on May 9, 1960! The Vulture by Ronnie Ray and the Playboys!
A fantastic 2 sider with their version of Mean Mama Blues on the A-side, and a killer instrumental "The Vulture" on the flip.
The Vulture ended up on "volume 3" of the Vip Vop tapes.
What are The Vip Vop Tapes anway? As far as I can tell, they were two cassette tapes (30 minutes a side) that Lux Interior made back in the day. Amazing tapes with great music and portions of movie trailers sandwiched between the songs. Somewhere along the line someone got a copy of the tapes and started selling them at swap meets in California.

Back in the napster days, someone reached out to me and got me copies of these tapes (that had NO track listing) and they became a big part of Lux and Ivy's Favorites. To this day, there are still some songs from these tapes that have yet to be identified.
Years later, another tape's audio was given to me from The Cramps European tour from A Date with Elvis and portions of the Vip Vop Tapes were on there, with other songs as well, officially making the connection that the tapes were indeed made by Lux.
The Vulture is on Lux and Ivy's Favorites Volume 5!
