![Two months later Wyatt put out a single, a cover version of "I'm a Believer", which hit number 29 in the UK chart.[1] Both were produced by Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason. There were strong arguments with the producer of Top of the Pops surrounding Wyatt's performance of "I'm a Believer", on the grounds that his use of a wheelchair "was not suitable for family viewing", the producer wanting Wyatt to appear in a wicker chair. Wyatt won the day and "lost his rag but not the wheelchair". A contemporary issue of New Musical Express featured the band (a stand-in acting for Mason), all in wheelchairs, on its cover. Wyatt subsequently sang lead vocals on Mason's first solo album Fictitious Sports (1981), a suite of songs composed by American jazz musician Carla Bley.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:764kjdgy2z6qa3t3vpj77k5g/bafkreihlvdr4fwsjgxcwtao557qckr53z2utv7opozyz6hzpfinwysun5i)
