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.
Here's another excavated goodie from a box we got all the way from Melbourne (in exchange for some external record dealings) - This is coming from the same source as the 'Tape Projects' locked groove 12" which some of you regular rwdfwd checkers might remember we had up here recently, and which went real fast... But fear not, more copies are coming to us soon, in case you're still looking... we're the only place you can find that one, and this equally wicked locked groove related one too.
This record was made in edition of 100 copies for an exhibition a fair few years back, and 'most copies were destroyed in the process' - plus they never made it to any record shops at all, so this one is pretty under-the-radar, which is nice.
The story of this record dates back to January 2010, and it was produced for a Chronox installation in Tasmania, Australia. 100 copies pressed, about a quarter got used during the exibhition, whilst playing the locked groove side of the disc on three turntables simultaneously, and mostly 'destroyed in the process, or given to friends'.
Apart from being a pretty special disc with all those locked grooves on it, we think this record fully captures all that sense of intrigue and experimentation that you could wish for in abstract music... Think 'industrial, music concrete, early synth and tape experiments' and you go the gist of what's going on here, and then just trust our ears and words when we say this one scratches the itch for all who love experimental music and obscure records that have a story to tell, not just sonically but also in terms of the life of the artefact itself.
On one side we find a drift through 15+ mins of warbled tape frequencies, abstract harmonics and distressed synth signals, flowing as one piece... Apparently this was put together in one long sleepless night, live straight to 2 track tape. This one would sit well next to your Coil records or maybe Conrad Schnitzler's dubbed out synth tape biz.
Then, we get treated to 33 perfectly cut locked grooves.
From blips and bloops, to woody echoes, organ-esque chords, resonant harmonics, gloomy, reverberated synthesis, pitched down snaps and crunches, laughter-esque synth sounds and other weird sh*t that we love to hear -
in short, there's plenty of fun to be had with this record in the mix, and it's actually very pleasing to listen to as well.
These remaining last copies come with a unique sleeve, handmade with a gold-stencilled artwork in order to pepper our intrigue and make these copies extra special.
No clips... Sorry! You can have your money back if you don't enjoy the record..
Edition of 100 - last, and only copies here.
15mins 51 second track on one side, 33 locked grooves on the other.
Unique DIY artwork for these last copies.
