The current Coronavirus/COVID-19 situation has claimed another postponement today. In a statement issued on their social media channels, Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets have noted that: "Due to the current situation and considering the well-being of our fans we've taken the decision to move the release date of 'Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets - Live At The Roundhouse' to September 18th." With the widespread closure of physical stores in many places, and many countries, it isn't a surprise they have taken this step, and of course, priorities of movement should be urgent food and medical supplies. Having seen the film at the cinema, we can assure you it is worth the extra wait... UPDATE, 25 MARCH: In an update on their social media channels, there was some detail shared on the date change. "The band, and Sony Music, wanted to offer some further clarification of the reasons: - At such extraordinary times they want to do all they can to help, prioritising post / deliveries for vital supplies & limiting interaction for these very important delivery workers to ensure everyone's safety - Sony's main warehouse has been placed on lockdown with no date confirmed for re-opening so they cannot complete the manufacture, or supply stock, on this or indeed any other Sony release currently - Music retailers, particularly small, independent stores, will be hit hard by these closures and we want to support them by issuing this at a time where each store can be open for customers. Additionally to this, Amazon has informed all record companies non-essential products like CDs and DVDs will not be prioritised and may not be shipped "At this difficult time we want to support our fans, and the wider public, and safeguard their health. We are planning to release some more new full song videos digitally for you all to enjoy starting this week so stay tuned for further details and most importantly, stay safe."
