Canadian rock singer/songwriter Aldo Nova doesn't get enough credit (some cynics would say blame) for helping invent the 1980s pop-metal genre, which focused equally on hard rocking anthems and soaring power ballads. Aldo Nova appeared in 1982 complete with irresistible melodies and choruses, explosive guitar licks, and huge-sounding drums. It was a full year or more before Def Leppard, Night Ranger, Bon Jovi, and others would latch on to this formula and rocket to stardom. Nova wrote, produced, arranged, and performed his double-platinum debut album by himself, except for drums and some bass guitar and piano parts. Nova is quite proficient on guitar, but his secret weapon is his keyboard and synthesizer prowess. The hit single (and early MTV favorite) "Fantasy" cannot be denied; it's loaded with guitar and keyboard hooks as well as a catchy chorus. "Foolin' Yourself" has a more straightforward pop feel and it was a minor hit. "Ball and Chain" is the best-known power ballad on Aldo Nova, but the hypnotic "You're My Love" is better. "Hot Love" is propelled by several guitar solo bursts. "Heart to Heart" and "See the Light" are fast, energetic songs with crisp guitar riffs and swirling synthesizer lines. Aldo Nova is a minor classic.

This is not something you see posted every day. The hit single 'Fantasy' was the quintessential one-hit wonder of the early 80s - and the only track on this album to get any radio play or recognition. It was on MTV and the radio day and night for at least a year after it was released. It's a catchy tune and a party favorite, even today after nearly 40 years. Never heard the other 9 tracks, so it will be fun to check out the rest of the album. And here's some rock n' roll trivia for the bored peeps reading this comment: Aldo Nova's real name is Aldo Caporuscio. Not sure if that little tidbit will ever come in handy, but at least we know why he changed it to Aldo Nova. 😂
Cut to the chase: this is a rare gem from an early pioneer of the pop-metal genre and an awesome gift for serious collectors.
