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.
Another mad, mad good set of version-insanity from the Professor -
Dub Me Crazy 9!
This one, the 9th in the legendary Dub Me Crazy series, originally came out in 1989, almost a decade on from the first Dub Me Crazy LP -
Kicking off with the killer Anansi Skank, you can already hear good use of a sampler, which had become affordable around the later 80's and brought to a broader audience of those who couldn't get their hands on a $30.000 Fairlight, or a just under $10.000 E-MU emulator -
Of course the Mad Proffessor wasn't going to shy away from giving these new affordable samplers a go, and it comes to good effect on Anansi Skank, with that playful attitude of early sampling, over a tough rhythm.
Note how the drums on this version of Dub Me Crazy, contrary to the early 80's LPs, also features digital drums, in the fashion of the later 80's uk roots tunes, and the steppers sound that was about to blow around this time (Disciples, Conscious Sounds, Dred & Fred, Blakamix, Shaka...)
Natural Skank is a big tune too, and that's just the 2nd cut on this disc - next up we got the plane-take-off-sci-fi phaser/flanger dancehall cut Blue Ball Fire, which takes in the Digital Dancehall explosion that had fired over from JA in the mid 80's via Prince Jammy and gives it that later 80's / early 90's dembow type bounce which dancehall heads will know about, and appreciate.
We won't go on talking you through each track, but we will say that this is a big contendor for being one of the best Dub Me Crazy LPs actually - the dub techniques are mad as ever, the addition of samplers, drum machines and synths that were getting so popular and inspired so many around the time is a real life-giver to this particular Dub Me Crazy LP -
This is big stuff, don't sleep!
