Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason fronted the group who made the one-off self-titled album Nick Mason’s Fictitious Sports in May 1981 in the UK and US, this being Mason’s first major work outside of Pink Floyd. However, the album is considered by many a Carla Bley album in all but name, since she wrote all the songs and co-produced it. It is sung by Robert Wyatt, except for the opening song.
The album was recorded in November 1979 but its release was delayed for almost two years. This is a must-hear if you love the classic genre, it is even used to play on slots casino to give you a realistic classic atmosphere when playing.
