For the first time since their original releases, Nick Mason’s solo albums, ‘Nick Mason’s Fictitious Sports’, ‘Profiles’ and ‘White of the Eye’ will be available again as individual LPs and CDs. This is the first time the albums have been made available since their release in the 2018 boxset ‘Unattended Luggage’

‘Nick Mason’s Fictitious Sports’ is Nick’s debut solo album and his first work outside of Pink Floyd. Originally released in 1981, it saw him collaborate with a variety of different musicians including Robert Wyatt and Carla Bley. The album was recorded in 1979 at a session booked in America where Nick, Carla and Robert were going to bring their ideas together, but ahead of the trip, Carla sent Nick a demo cassette… “It was very different from what she had done before and absolutely in line with what I like” commented Nick in 2012… and it went on to be the nucleons of the album.

‘Profiles’ is Nick's first collaboration with 10cc guitarist Rick Fenn and was his second album outside of Pink Floyd. Released in 1985 as ‘Mason + Fenn’, it is mainly an instrumental album except for tracks ‘Lie for a Lie’, which features vocals from Maggie Reilly and former bandmate David Gilmour and ‘Israel’, sung by UFO keyboardist Danny Peyronel.

‘White of the Eye’ is the soundtrack of a British thriller movie of the same name. Originally released in 1987, Nick once again collaborated with Rick Fenn and it was released in conjunction with the film's release.
