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.

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.

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.
‘Cream Of Bristol Roots Pirate’ is a 90 minute collage of pirate radio fragments snatched out of the airwaves above Bristol throughout 1994, taking in the static drenched and warmly compressed broadcasts from pioneering Bristol Pirate stations Power, Ragga & Raw FM.
A lifetime before the era of internet radio and streaming, these transmissions were spliced together on one radio tape deck, pause-button style, in one take - a mixtape of highlights, dubbed and passed on to close friends for repeat listening.
A chance loft digging session by Stryda (who is now a long time veteran of pirate radio with his Sufferah’s Choice show which has been running since the 90s) unearthed the original cassette which was given a bit of TLC at the Dubkasm studio to get it sounding tip-top, then pro-duplicated and printed. No edits, no fuss.
Drifting through a haze of shoutouts, adverts for local dances, toasting and frequency dial surf noise, with the likes of Skelly Roots, Kama Dread, Jah Lion, Ras B and more at the controls, it’s a deep-dive into the pirate waves above Bristol near-on 30 years ago and a reminder of why the city’s radio culture is so vibrant to this day.
Pro-duplicated cassette with printed onbody & J-card, strictly limited edition.
