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.
If you caught that magical Employee cassette on Bristol's very own Plaque a little while ago, this is the vinyl copy you've been waiting for - Super short run of 100 copies, it's sounding incredible. There's 8 Tracks in total, two of them exclusive to the vinyl as well.

Sword-wielding Ocarina master Link on a conquest with Legowelt, meeting a gold-armoured middle-age incarnation of Ryuichi Sakamoto… aka the sound of EMPLOYEE for the inaugural tape from PLAQUE!
One of Bristol’s finest underground promotions, headed by long-time top-a-top selector and Slack Alice / Avon Terror Corps resident Matt Light, we’re pleased to see Plaque’s first dispatch-able transmission for everyone outside of the city.
Right from the time you press play (insert coins) it’s clear that this venture is one inspired by videogame worlds and similar far-away tales of escapism and imagined places – swelling synths make way for jangled drum loops and 12bit melodies in the best of computer game traditions, with many of the infectious musical sections on Temple Of Glendor appearing only for a minute or so, like those glorious RPG moments where you are at an intersection between worlds and just need to pass a simple path, collect rubies and upgrade your weapons whilst a tuneful, well-spirited yet ominous musical passage guides the way.
Naturally, with its melodic tendencies and FM style synthesis it also feels like it could’ve come from Japan’s late 80’s early 90’s leftfield pop & ambient era, heavily inspired by the technological advances at the time, but we can’t be sure that this is a direct influence…. The sound of videogame music is pretty universal, and it’s probably already engrained in most our DNA’s by now too.
Or as PLAQUE state it so aptly:
“Help our hero navigate into the lower echelons of Glendor’s claggy labyrinth and unlock the real secret behind it’s master’s evil ways. Potions can revive dead party members, consulting occult spaeman can unlock bonus levels. Destroy all the master’s treasure chests and collect the keys to emancipate his disfigured servants from their opiated haze and assist with the struggle deeper into shadowy purple chambers.
For this journey expect fragmented visuals with ever-tessellating rib vaults, turnt-up combat mechanics with challenging boss battles for an ever-cerebral quest seeped in dread and unease.
”
A refreshingly melodic, and rather rejuvenating 20 track meditation from a mysterious protagonist –
