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.
The A Side - Provisional (Dub) was originally released in 1999, as part of the 'Systemwide Meets Muslimgauze - At The City Of The Dead' project, on a 5-track 10", setting the two dub extraordinaries head to head and giving the underground a first taste of this heavily loaded piece of bass & drum centric dubwise music.
On the next side of the disc, we find the shimmering 'Pan American Midnight Sun' Remix of Ripe Up, which turns a sedated version of the original into something deeply meditative, centred around introspective melodica and isolated bass guitar, with shreds of the percussion escaping through an array of effects, expertly dubbed.
The searing Provisional (Dub) was lifted from the original 2" tape session from which Alter Echo spliced up and dubbed the extracts to perfection, giving the forceful, slow bassline and the impactful drums and their rare 6/8 feel all the power to make a soundsystem shake the foundations. Towards the second half of the track, the heavy underlying current of bass & drum is further accentuated by the ruff & ready snare fills that pummel down over a barrage of delay and reverb... This is proper rebel music.
The glistening Ripe Up remix, sweeps in like the perfect calm of the storm after the A side has done it's deed... Floating along weightlessly, the pulsing bass guitar acting as the only anchor for it's duration, a truly elevating and uplifting version, beautifully tranquil yet indestructible due to it's low-end foundations, guiding the way forward as all the other elements escape into the mist.
Even 15 years after these tracks first saw the light, they remain as relevant and timeless as ever.
The only difficult thing is to choose which of the sides is our favourite.
