I strongly suspect this album has a much much higher "market value" but I am more interested in this music going to a new home, one that can appreciate this performer and her vocal talents.
I actually cannot find anyone who is offering this album in its original vinyl version and her 3rd album (I Am I Said) is for sale on Discogs for A$592!!! although the last sale on discogs is much more realistic price at A$110 (2020)
This would have been one of Carmen's first recordings on the AW Records International label although I cannot pin down the exact year of release or any old catalogue information from AW Records International but based on all the other Filipino music I am offering, this album would have been released in the late 1970's - early 1980's.
Sure you can get the streamed version, MP3 or CD but try and find the ORIGINAL vinyl analog recording, no way hose! This is a voice that should be heard clean and pure (analog) not chopped up into little pieces and digitised.
Beautiful lady, absolutely gorgeous voice.
Carmen is primarily known as a Filipino singer, Carmen Soriano but her talents were not just to sing beautifully. She is an actress, beginning her career as a teenager in the 1950's and has also starred in romantic dramas in the ’60s.
She regularly used to frequent the recording studio, nightclub performances and as a television musical host.
She can sing in English, Spanish and Tagalog

197? Exact year of release is unknown but I suspect it would be in the late 1970's - early 1980's period
Philippines release
Cover is in very good condition, no writing, no tears, no seam splits and barely any edge wear from handling - like most of the Filipino albums I am offering, they were stored in their original sealed plastic wrapping.
New plastic inner sleeve is supplied
Vinyl is in very good condition, inspected under a white halogen light source and I can only see a couple of very light scratches on each side. I then played both sides entirely and there are no significant issues with surface noise or clicks/pops - any surface noise is of a very low level and clicks/pops were not noticed at all. Very very nice play.
Supplied in new outer protective plastic sleeve
