Here's an earlier recording on his own Silver Bell label out of Guyman http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMbkIQ_YaGE
Alvera records was owned by Al Clauser and located in Pure Oklahoma just outside of Tulsa. It ran from the 70's into the early 80's. The name "Alvera" is derived from the combination of Al and Vera, his wifes name. Accordian to Wikepedia Al was a Des Moines, Iowa Tulas Oklahoma based artist who gave Patti Page her start, may have coined the term "Western Swing", and allowed Ronald Reagan to taga along with the band when he drove to Californ to appear in Gene Autry's "Rootin Tootin Rythm" movie.
