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.
Check the full info from 2 Kings HQ for all you need to know on this wicked plate:
"Bristol-based roots imprint 2 Kings are proud to release “Rastafari Way” by Blue Red featuring Mikey Dread, on vinyl 12” and download formats. The track’s stunning vocal was recorded by the late, great Mikey Dread in Kingston Jamaica, as part of the Time Will Tell project in 1996, at Jungle Red studio in Duhaney Park.
2 Kings producer Andy Scholes, working with engineer Dennis “Chunky” Hutchinson, recorded a set of vocals in Kingston, most of which were published on Time Will Tell, but this gem has never been available on public release. For those unfamiliar with Mikey Dread’s body of work, he was a pivotal force in the meeting of reggae and the burgeoning UK punk movement in the late 70s and early 80s, producing The Clash’s seminal “Bankrobber” in 1980.
Originally recorded on one of the Bristol-penned Blue Red rhythms in Time Will Tell, “Rastafari Way” has now been reworked by Rob Smith (Blue Red, Smith Mighty and RSD), who is currently locked down by the pandemic in New Zealand, at the Te Henga Studio in Auckland. The 2nd dub on the imprint’s reverse even features the squawk of a “Kiwi Chicken” – if that is even a thing. The tune’s memorable vocal performance has a haunting, meditative quality that sits perfectly on the heavy, warm and beautifully produced rhythm track, with a main cut on the A-side, and 2 dubs on the reverse."
Served up via the good ship Henry & Louis / 2 Kings, on a good old 12" disc!
