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.
Absolute blinder of an album from Bristol's very own Tara Clerkin Trio, served up via Laura Lies In -
This is the repress, because the first run flew out in a flash... And deservedly so.
Same music, but comes with a different artwork insert -
We've been aware of the Tara Clerkin Trio making the rounds in the live circuit around Bristol and beyond, and had always wanted to check them out, but hadn't had a chance yet. This is very high on the list now (when that time comes again of course).
Their contribution to a recent Noods comp was a big favourite here too, and after our friend Adam from the inimitable SCHWET gang made sure that we get this record here in before it flies out again, we're now fully hooked on TCT, - high as a kite! -
Their sound seems to perfectly capture a weird & wonderful sound zone that sits ultra comfortably - or maybe better put: kind of lurks in the a dimly lit, shimmery zone between - Languidity era Sun Ra, Oh Superman era Laurie Anderson (oh and maybe some Shadow Blood era Lena Platanos?), maybe even some F Ingers or Carla Dal Forno on a slightly less gloomy, but equally hazy day. There's even a bit of late 90's / early 00's K&D / acid jazz type biz in there (but this will age much better, we'd say!).
Not sure what else to add here for reference (done enough already too... Sorry about that), But it doesnt' really matter what this could compare to you know... This stuff stands alone in the way that it's just a beautifully realised album, and such strong, singular material throughout.
Basically, we get the feeling that Tara Clerkin Trio want to invite you behind that red curtain in the black lodge... Time ticks differently here, and things aren't what they seem.
Just trust us when we say - this is a real nice album, perfectly paced, spaced and peppered with some proper 'hits' too. The kind of thing that you can appreciate more with each listen, and the kind of album where each track makes sense, at once by itself, but also as part of the trip - a real journey, a real mood from the very beginning, right til the end.
...Or as the label themselves put it, nicely, we thought: Positively grey.
Big, big tip on this.
Mastered by Rupert Clerveux,
served with 12" x 12" poster insert.
