A short time ago, I gave a first ever mention to The Vultures as part of the long-running ‘Saturday’s Scottish Song’ series. The song, Good Thing, was lifted from the box set, Big Gold Dreams (A Story of Scottish Independent Music 1977-1989). Click here for a reminder.
It was the lead track of the band’s sole EP, released on the Nardonik label in 1988, and I closed off by saying that I was so taken by again hearing it that I’d gone and ordered a second-hand copy of the EP via Discogs with the intention of sharing its other three tracks with you.
Here we go:-
mp3: The Vultures – Jack The Ripper
mp3: The Vultures – What I Say
mp3: The Vultures – You’re Not Scared
The whole EP comes in at 9 minutes, and that’s only because What I Say takes up three of those minutes. The other three tracks all come in at less than 120 seconds.
It’s not a huge output in terms of the history of recorded music, but The Vultures deserve to be celebrated.
THE NEW VINYL VILLAIN 
This EP is fantastic!
I’m not overly keen on What I Say (the lead guitar) but crikey, the other three songs are tremendous. Thanks for introducing me to the band and for taking the time to record and upload all of the tracks.
New music from 88. Would have loved it at time if had heard of it.
