THE ALBUM OF THE DAY
ALDO NOVA...Aldo Nova (1982)
(CD, Allmusic review)

The 1982 debut album from Aldo Nova is somewhat 'poppy', you could say. Fantasy is definitely the best track on the CD, the rest of the album has some filler (meaning ok tracks, but nothing as close as Fantasy. Ball And Chain and Foolin' Yourself arte good tracks. I recommend it, especially if you haven't heard it in a long time. if you've never heard it before just check out the youtube video and that will be all you need
