Biography
Nicholas Berkeley Mason is an English drummer, best known as a founder member of progressive rock group Pink Floyd. Mason is the only Pink Floyd member to be featured on every one of their albums, and the only constant member of the band since its formation in 1965. It is estimated that as of 2010, the group have sold over 250 million records worldwide,including 75 million units sold in the United States. Despite solely writing only a few Pink Floyd songs, Mason has co-written some of Pink Floyd’s most popular compositions such as “Echoes” and “Time”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Mason

Album & Cover
Nick Mason’s Fictitious Sports is the debut album by Pink Floyd’s drummer Nick Mason. Released in May 1981 in the UK and US, this was Mason’s first major work outside of Pink Floyd. He is quoted as saying: I made ‘Fictitious Sports’ more as an exercise. There’s more longevity in ‘Profiles’… it’s strong enough to be accepted as a ‘proper’ record. Robert Wyatt did all the vocals except ‘Can’t get my motor to start’ and Carla Bley composed the songs and produced the album- not really a Nick Mason album perhaps fictitious. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Mason%27s_Fictitious_Sports
