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.
Augustus Pablo produced a raw diamond here, along with great players such as Robbie Shakespeare and Aston Barrett on Bass, Vin Gordon on Trombone, Bob Ellis on Trumpet, Dirty Harry on sax, Carlton Barrett on drums... And of course Augustus Pablo on melodica, organ, clavinet & piano.
The rhythms are undoubtedly some of the greatest to ever make it out of Jamaica, with tracks such as the title track 'Keep On Dubbing' with its melancholy, ultra-heavy pace, the crawling, perfectly stoned dubwise of 555 Dub Street, and of course the title track, which was originally a B side dub version to Jacob Miller's 'Baby I Love You So' being just a small selection on offer here - Honestly, there are no fillers here, it's all 100% straight big tune, after big tune.
The tracks are all masterclasses in their own right, but of course the added magic happens with the way these are versioned on the mixing desk, stretched out into dub purity with King Tubby at the top of his game, putting his self-built studio equipment to full musical, and technical use.
With only a 4 track tape machine at hand - incredible really - putting his engineering skills and keen ear for new technology to use, but keeping music and vibe at the top of the list always, he uses those raw hand-made filters spring reverbs and tape delays to the best possible extent, in a unique and pioneering 'dub way' - the amount of inspiration singularity is incredible, and it has no doubt changed the way the world has looked at music production ever since. King Tubby manages to create mixes the feel like they are soaked in vibes, dense and almost over-heavy breaking at the seams, but still full of endless space and depth and detail in each sound, re-imaging the songs with a new kind of patience and a new kind of focus, a focus on the foundation, the drums and the bass, embellished by the music that surrounds it -
This is a 100% essential record, even 50 years on - no matter what genre we're talking about, no two ways about it.
