How to use the reserve function
If you'd like to purchase items from our site but want to save money on shipping costs, you can use our reserve function to combine your orders over an unlimited period of time, and ship them together for one combined shipping price when you are ready.
Just hit the 'reserve' button at the checkout page as your shipping option when you've finished making your order, and your order will automatically be held in reserve here until you are ready for us to ship everything to you.You can keep as many orders in reserve with us via our site as you like, until you are ready to ship. Just send us an email when you are ready to ship your reserve orders, and we will get in touch with the combined shipping price, or ship for free if you have exceeded the minimum order amount for free shipping to your address.
Can the reserve function be used to get free shipping? Yes - If your combined order total is more than £50 within the UK, over £150 within the EU, or over £225 worldwide, we'll ship your order to you via courier service, for free.
Here's a step by step guide to using it:
1. Click on the account icon to log into your account.
If you don't have an account, please click 'create account' to make one. If you had an account on the old RWDFWD site, please create a new one with the same email address used on the old site - this will ensure your previous orders are brought through to your new account.
2. Add records to your cart as normal.
3. When you're ready to check out, select 'ship'.
4. Then select 'Reserve items' on the shipping method list, then continue to payment.
5. Once payment is complete, your order will show in your account as 'unfulfilled'. We will have put all the products aside in reserve for you to combine with other orders and ship later in bulk.
6. When you're ready to ship all the items you have in reserve, email us on info@rwdfwd.com and we will calculate the shipping due and arrange for payment to be taken.
7. Sit tight and wait for your records to arrive in the post!

EU Order info
Unfortunately, the UK is no longer part of the EU - This means that certain shipments sent to addresses there from us may be subject to tax and / or import duty - All orders sent from RWDWD are sent ‘DDU’ - That is, duty unpaid - any import tax and/or duty is the sole responsibility of the buyer.
If you would like to use our reserve function to group several orders into one large shipment, we can arrange for it to be sent tax and duty pre-paid so you don’t have to worry about it at a later date - Contact us for more information.
Gatefold Sleeve LP with extra CD inside.
Gazing, imagining and listening in on a world of sound in Malaya, with anthropologist accounts and commonwealth recordings as musical paperwork, Jon Hassell who, at the time of writing, counts up to the ripe age of 80 years, and has more than earned his badge as a masterful composer, unjustly overshadowed (at times) by his peer Brian Eno...
Although that might have been rectified by the fact that Eno appears only in small print on this record, despite his involvement in most of the tracks.
This LP, reissued for the very first time since it's initial release some 35 years ago, sees Jon Hassell evoke dream states and subconscious connections with the other side of earth, channeling the obscured sounds of Malaya, from the other side of the world, via Bob and Daniel Lanois' Toronto recording studio.
The trumpeter and composer builds, along Brian Eno, Micheal Brook, Walter DeMaria and Miguel Frasconi, with this far-out landscape as the drawing point, skewed patterns and obscure harmonies using his instrument of choice, synythesizer, gongs, percussion, found sounds and deft manipulation of said sonics, each unifying in counter-rhythm.
The outcome is a deliciously weird blur of natural frequency, relatable sounds, and sonics that seem to invest directly into the right hand side of the brain...
Concoctions of imagination and dreams merge with the recalling of the sound of insects, birds, water, native tongue and perhaps even the sun-tinted, joyous degrees of insanity that occur when the brain melts in tropical heat, under the burning sun.
Meditative genius for purveyors of the strange and surreal, this is a stunning piece of work, rightly reissued.
