Nick Mason Solo Albums Available Separately
Nick Mason, Pink Floyd’s drummer, is to release his solo albums as individual LPs & CDs for the first time since their original releases. The three albums will be released on 7th June 2024. The albums are Fictitious Sports, Profiles, and the film soundtrack, White of the Eye with Rick Fenn.
The boxset Unattended Luggage was released fairly recently in 2018; this included all three albums. But you can now get them individually, just in case you have worn one LP out in particular.
