Has The Gunfighter been delayed again? It was supposed to have been released yesterday, but is 'currently unavailable' on Amazon. (Ditto Eve.)

Does anybody know why Signal One are getting so heavily into delays this year ? It seemed to have improved lately but now it looks so much worse than past years.

I assume their release is of the Tyrone Power/ Gene Tierney Razor's Edge and not the abominable Bill Murray version?

The '84 version is with Sony so I doubt it will be that. The '48 version is a Fox title so it's right up Signal One's street.

Let's Make Love pushed to 7/16, but there will doubtless be further delays. At least Firestarter was actually released today!

Has there been any further news on Red Rock West?

Let's Make Love now has a 12/31/18 placeholder date. (3 Faces of Eve still shows 7/9, but I have my doubts!) I haven't seen an explanation for, or even an announcement of, any of the seemingly endless delays on their Facebook page.

3 Faces of Eve is showing on Amazon as "temporarily out of stock", which has been the case for other postponed releases that reached their original release date without having their product pages updated with the proper delayed date.
Does anybody know if at least review discs have been made available to reviewers ? This would indicate the files at least are available and another delay might happen but for other reasons, but if these discs don't even exist yet, we might not even be close to the release materialising.

In any case, I hope Signal One will start better communicate on these massive and repeated delays( but also try to explain why they're happening in the first place).

Surprisingly, given that I shared the cynicism about release dates, this afternoon I received a despatch notice from Amazon UK for The Three Faces Of Eve.

Like a bad joke, the label rep just confirmed Nightmare Alley and the Gunfighter have been delayed AGAIN, to Q3 and Q4. That's shorthand for the years 4003 and 4004 btw

The only way to accurately express my disappointment would be a YouTube montage of all the times Yosemite Sam blew his top, but I don't have one of those.

Sad to see all the hype and excitement early on in this thread when the label launched. I haven't picked up any of their titles yet (though I have my eyes on Doc and Guns at Batasi), but was planning on doing so when Nightmare Alley and/or The Gunfighter finally came out.

Seems these delays have really taken the steam out of the enthusiasm for the label. Hopefully they can get back on track with two great packages that make the wait more than worth it.

It's very complicated to get excited about a label's output when there's pretty much no output anymore except announcements that the few planned releases are getting delayed by several months for the 4th time.

Still, looking on the bright side, by the time Nightmare Alley comes out I'll most likely have forgotten every word of the commentary that Johnny Mains and I recorded last summer, so I'll actually be able to listen to it for pleasure for once (hopefully, but I remember we were pretty proud of this one).

Unfortunately the market is tough right now, and things such as HMV going into administration definitely put a damper on things. Have been told first-hand that all other titles other than Nightmare Alley and The Gunfighter have been put on indefinite hold for now (including Red Rock West, which I was really looking forward to).

It's a shame as I recently watched The Boston Strangler disc and that has to be one of the best blind-buys I've made in the past 6 months; great film, perfect transfer and encode, excellent extras. What more could you want? I own nearly every S1 and Plan B disc released so far, and none of them have been a disappointment.

At least Red Rock West already has a fine German Blu-ray

With the economics likely to get worse still (as we're looking at the increasing likelihood of a no deal Brexit and another recession), I'm grateful Nightmare Alley is still happening at all.

Looks like Nightmare Alley is delayed yet again. Amazon has updated the availability date to December 31, 2019. Not that I think that’s a real date either...

They confirmed at the br.com forums that they were hot pretty hard financially with HMV going into administration and everything would be delayed for quite a while.

I have every sympathy with people who have paid for pre-orders but S1 aren't delaying things for laziness, they're a business - they know how bad not having a single title in 2019 will hit them, but if they can't make it happen...they can't make it happen.

There's a burgeoning boutique market but sadly the margins are still very, very fine for labels.

I believe we all know they're not delaying stuff for fun, it's just that there's a point when you either need to delay it the right amount of time (and if it's 2 years, then so be it) or just cancel it once and for all. Otherwise, it looks like a label grasping at straws about its lead time, which doesn't make them look good at project planning.
I'm sure they have tons of reasons for delaying these that much, but we're no insiders. All we see is a release being delayed again and again, while in the meantime, other labels are releasing dozens of stuff.

From what I've heard it's purely lack of sales leading to financial difficulties, as they can't actually afford to release a lot of what they have planned. Nightmare Alley and The Gunfighter are the only titles on their slate for now, and they may actually be the lifeline for the future of this label. It'll be a shame to see them go as I've enjoyed every single release I've seen from them so far and own nearly all of them.
