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.
From PDX to BRS, it's a connection that has been waiting for it's solidification for some time now, a long talked about plan that finally came to fruition through mutual appreciation and a meet & greet on the streets of Bristol sometime last year, around the time that this recording was made, in the infamous basement of the Take 5 Cafe, just below Stokes Croft.
Travelling the UK and Europe with a trolley full of the essentials - cables, plugs, machines, maybe a toothbrush and some spare sock - Kevin Palmer made a brief stop in Bristol that time, performing live and direct for the guys at Plaque, laying down some uncompromisingly experimental sonics for those in attendance.
Thankfully, NoCorner have snatched the recording that was made (Basement ambience included) and have decided to cement this moment onto an orange ferric-grade cassette, packaged with artwork from Kevin's daughter, re-styled by our very own 'Studio Tape-Echo' here at our HQ.
Cruising through at around 60mins, this recording stumbles, plunges and rises through a hissing swarm of delays and bruk-up rhythms, in undeniable BAT style.
The signifiers of dub, techno and low-slung rhythms are hacked and chopped with improvised beats and mangled machine fuckery, fusing with live & direct concrete ambience recorded straight through a microphone into this mad little 4 track tape machine clone thing that he uses, amongst a gang of his 'best available', to make up the final signal chain.
No digital available of this cassette... Load it up and enjoy.
Limited to 60 copies.
No digital.
Two different cover designs, shipped at random.
Orange tape, green case.
Printed onbody, and printed inlays.
