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.

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.
In 2001 Roots Manuva released his seminal 'Run Come Save Me' album on Big Dada Records, an LP that will remain a staple in British Contemporary music history, amongst the likes of 'The Streets - Original Pirate Material'... A high watermark for British lyricism and culture.
Across the 10 tracks, we find some very JA-rooted vocal cuts on the first disc, before we enter the manuva dubwise zone on disc 2... Although this is definitely to be classed as a Hip Hop album, Roots Manuva's way of flinging the words melodically, serves as a reminder of his Jamaican heritage and gives this a distinct UK flavour, certainly differentiable from his US counterparts, the production style sits somewhere in between UK / JA soundsystem culture and the crate-digging, sample-heavy aesthetic of early US Hip Hop.
In equal measures, the instrumentals really are worth the same amount of praise as the vocals... So much so, that we can't thank Big Dada enough for releasing the - superbly - dubbed follow up to 'Run Come Save Me' - aptly titled 'Dub Come Save Me'.
In true JA tradition, parts of the vocal are left to reside, whilst the details of the instrumentals are brought to the foreground, often letting the best parts shimmer through a solid wall of rhythm and bassline.
A truly accomplished piece, the dubs are absolutely wicked... By the time the needle reaches 'Witness Dub' your neck will be stiff from all the head-nodding... Each track comes correct, a near faultless record.
Served in a fresh-looking printed sleeve, each track comes mastered loud and clear, spread across two discs.
Milestone business.
Mastered (to an impeccable degree) by Voda at 10th Planet.
