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.
Nora Dean's music is a big favourite here (ahem, did you listen to that latest 7" on FuckPunk?) - Angie La La, also known as Ay Ay Ay Ay, is one of those one-in-a-million rocksteady tracks, obscure and full of magic, but just very, very sweet really. There doesn't seem to be too much info about her, no interviews or anything, and hardly any pictures, but she's recorded some killer tracks in the early days of reggae music in Jamaica, and it seems that she has a bit of a cult following these days too.
Although the main event on this reissue 7" disc via Harlem Shuffle seems to be that 'Peace Begins With' cut -
you might think £13.49 is a lot for a 7", but if you consider that the original UK pressing on Bullet from 1971 is on Discogs for......
over £1200!!!!
And the 1972 JA pressing on Lion from the early 72's, seems to have sold on Discogs for......... over £400!!!!!
- then this reissued import 7" price is not too bad after all, I suppose.
Either way, money stupidity aside, this tune is another great example of Nora Dean's untouchable, original style, sitting somewhere between outsider Soul & Disco, and JA Roots - and we'd say this 7" is definitely worth the pounds in musical weight, no doubt.
Plus, it comes with that wicked Ay Ay Ay Ay 'Angie La La' on the flip, so this is a real nice Nora Dean combo disc.
If you're just after the Angie La La track, by the way, you can find that on a reissued Treasure Isle 7" backed with 'Tom Drunk' by U Roy, which is also in stock here again right now.
Wonderful stuff.
