Joe Alvarez- Filipino Mod/Soul

Here's a recent find..another undiscovered gem from the 1960's..Havent heard this artist before but one thing i noticed is the whole Tom Jones and Mod/Soul was pretty big in the local Philippine music scene,judging on the bunch of releases and local versions/imitators of their U.K and U.S predecessors..

Joe Alvarez released a couple of albums and they're pretty hard to find nowadays. Here's the stand-out tack i ripped called "I Sigh", which i believed is an original.
Check it out...
