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.
Yes yes, nice to get our hands on some original press 1999 copies of this one-and-only release from Sista Ruby.... Woman Deejay in the place!
Produced by original JA-LDN don Dr Alimantado back in the days - with Macka B on bass guitar (pretty sure anyway!) - Sista Ruby - a jamaican living in England - recorded this top-a-top, full-of-life dancehall LP for Keyman Records around 20 years ago, but then she went quiet....
As far as we can see from a recent interview with a Jamaican newspaper, it's because she was frustrated with the music industry, so she continued on other aspects of life instead....
But, on this info-search, we also found out she travelled to Jamaica in recent years to record some new tracks alongside George 'Dusty' Miller of Firehouse Crew... Good news.
Anyway - back to the subject - this wicked & wild 'Woman DJ' album with Sista Ruby going cool & deadly over a heap of lively rhythms - kicking off with the title track, telling about how female deejays need to be extra tough & original on the mic, and conscious of navigating a 'man's world', with an encouraging message about how this is even more reason to step forward as a woman DJ and show how it can be done.
Agreed. Big tune.
Next up, we have her self-titled anthem 'Ruby Rock', which is then followed by a good ol' ganja tune - Gimmi Ganja - 'me nah want no hashish - it's only sensimelia mek me lyrics flourish' - you can never go wrong a with a good ganja tune, and Sista Ruby does a great rendition.
To balance out the high energy numbers, there are also some slower-paced one-drop reggae tracks and lean 90s dancehall riddims on the disc, such as 'Teach Me Rastaman', 'Think And Wanda', and the upbeat 'Dance Ina Mount Zion' -
Upful vibes throughout with Sista Ruby holding her own on the mic with a real persuasive ease, keeping the vibes high for each of the cuts.
Overall, this one does the trick real nicely.
Across 9 tracks, Sista Ruby keeps up the pace, riding different tempos and dancehall styles - perfect for your summer turntable selections, if you ask us >>
Real nice sleeve art too
