Description
REVEREND ROBERT BALLINGER -- Little Black Train -- hard to find, original 1963 U.S. album. This is the first of two highly sought-after LP's put out in the early 1960's by much-admired Blues-R&B-Gospel singer Rev. Robert Ballinger who performed with an incredibly volcanic Blues-R&B vocal style, accompanied here by legendary musician Willie Dixon and others. Ballinger died sadly in 1965 at the age of 43, leaving behind a very small but astonishing recorded legacy. Fans of early James Brown, Howlin' Wolf, Lightning Hopkins and other 1950's/early 1960's R&B and Blues artists would definitely dig this. Killer stuff. A very hard record to come by -- does not come up for sale often. Cover: VG/VG+, ring wear and wear at corners, wear at upper left seam, removable price sticker. Record: VG+, several light surface scuffs on Side One, several small bumps/bubbles at very outer edge of vinyl (from original printing defect) before first track begins that do not affect play; overall very clean, on Peacock label, U.S. pressing.
