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.
We love a record with a good story to it, and this is one of those....
That story is told on the back of the sleeve, no point in shifting the words around any more, so we'll just quote the sleeve and let you see for yourself!
'Lee's riposte, Perry's revenge, Scratch's vengeance, this album was born out of spite. You might already know the original 'The Good, The Bad And The Upsetters' released on Trojan in 1970, with the sombrero and poncho clad Jamaican cowboys brandishing revolvers in the Lee Van Cleef style that was briefly de rigeur.
Well this isn't it, that was the UK version, this is the Jamaican version, a much wilder excursion than it's more western predecessor. The Uk version took the Upsetters name but Lee Perry wasn't involved at any stage of the production. Riled by the release of what he deemed not to be a true Upsetters album, Perry hit back by releasing his own version in Jamaica with completely different tracks but with the same Spaghetti Western record sleeve and a sticker covering the old track list with the new.
Consider it a trans-Atlantic duel, a volleyed response back at the Man.
Produced in limited quantities this Jamaican edition was cast on to the scrap heap of time, known by few and owned by even fewer and is reissued from obscurity for the first time. Over 12 instrumental masterpieces that would manifest as the '70s went along. Listen to the ping-ponging rudimentary synth sounds that plip and plop from earhole to earhole, the ganja that makes one stumble over the gutter, the stuttering skanks of a Model T Ford running out of fuel and the pump and breathe of a Hoover long in need of emptying. It's rough, ready and totally idiosyncratic. Perhaps the most nonchalant sounding retaliation of all time. Take the record out of the holster and fire at 20 paces.
Ding Ding, Round 2."
Nuff said!
Served via Hot Milk records, this record comes in a new edition sleeve, shrinkwrapped and remastered to a for 2014 at Metcalfe studios.
