Best Available Technology - Broken Teeth & Dog Hair + 'Old Haunts'
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.
We're thankful that we didn't have to wait too long for Plaque to come forward with the next instalment for this freshly minted, yet long-anticipated imprint - that Employee tape (+ Bonus 12") has been on loop here in recent months.
And as you know, if you've been checking our site over the years, we're big fans of Portland's 1&only Best Available Technology too.
BAT has been keeping the transatlantic connection strong over the years, with connections via ex-Bristolian Astro:Dynamics (now perhaps more known as Death Is Not The End), NoCorner, and many trips to Bristol & London, with guitar pedals and fx units in the backpack - When it comes to setting foot in Bristol, Matt - who runs the Plaque label and events - has been a key factor in accommodating Best Available Technology's sonic excursions here (that BAT release on NoCorner from a few years back was actually a recording from a Plaque night), and it makes complete sense to hear some fresh Best Available Tech' on Plaque now.
It's a double whammy too, because you get a whole digital album (Broken Teeth & Dog Hair) as well as this 'guided meditation companion tape' 'Old Haunts' alongside.
Musically, the organic, hands-on, machine-driven palette that BAT has been championing to such great effect over the years is on display, with the doors wide open into this personal world of his particular style of hardware abuse, off-kilter drum workouts and melodic melancholy.
Time-telling hi-hats vs echo'd patterns, body-checking bass and bruised kickdrums, this is music for inward journeys and reflective times - highly emotive stuff, with plenty of space & beautiful imperfections in between, for the imagination to flourish and for the mind to travel to.
We recommend hooking up the tape player for this, turning off your phone - make a cup o' tea or a good cup of joe - and just hit that play button for maximum V I B E S.
Comes served in real tasty artwork by Hamish Trevis (Pheasantry Society elder) and with a full DL for the 'Broken Teeth & Dog Hair' + The Old Haunts Tape.
Enjoyeth!
