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.
EP/64's 57th live improv show, eternalised via the Avon Terror Corps family (EP/64 counts as one of them) on cassette, as a much needed memory-jog and a documentation of some real Bristol underground history in the making.
"EP/64 should've broken up by now - this was the 57th assembly of the 64 part EP (Ephemeral Project): a shHHifting lineup of 'live only' pummelling improv noise, 'ard punk skronk and vocal witchcraft that was due to end suddenly on their 64th gig in July 2020. Past revolving door members include Ossia, Gretchen (from Guttersnipe), Yoshino Shigihara, Silver Waves, members of Gnod, Agathe Max, Annie Gardiner (Hysterical Injury), DJ Ductape and Copper Sounds. They're a band now kept in suspended animation, waiting to fulfil their ephemeral nature."
This won't ever go in the same old cupboards as Massive Attack or Portishead, but for us, this is the stuff we'll be telling our grandkids about in future times - stories of loosing oneself completely and utterly to loud, frantic noises and gasping for air in moments of brief silence.
Entering those whirlwind of ferocious, burning-hot and fully-alive, anything-can-go-wrong-and-that's-ok type scenarios.
Fists clenched, heartbeat in a polyrhythmic tumble, and tears of joy helping the sweat cool our heated bodies - the kind of levels you can only reach when the music moves not only through the speakerboxes, but through bodies, pulsing together.
Dali De Saint Paul has made a name for herself as one of the rawest and realest vocalists in town (and further afield, for those lucky enough to catch her on one of her gigs with EP/64, Harrga, or Viridian Ensemble).
Alongside rhythm-wizard Dan Johnson (with a couple of exceptions, the mainstay drummer of EP/64's shows) EP/64 have managed to light fires which still burn to this day in our hearts - yes I know this is sounding all emotional, and you might have read the ATC write up already and thought the same, but forgive us, because we have been there and seen what can happen at these shows, and we're very thankful for that life energy, so we need to do our best to pass on the flames to anyone who wants to see that same light.
This tape here, documents a gig that happened for the zine launch of an issue of The Bristol Germ, down at local venue 'The Island' - an ex Fire Station and Police Cells.
Dan Johnson's ever-revolving, throbbing, sidestepping, stomping, afrobeat/post-punkin' drums seem to undulate around Dali's looping, perfectly insane vocals with which she seems to draw energy out of mid-air, and turn it into some kind of hypnotic swell, and the two provide an anchor for Ben Vince's free sax, masterfully played like some kind of swelling of the sea, or a fierce thunderstorm at times.
We've seen a fair few killer EP/64 combos, but this has the be one of the very strongest - what a combination!
We're not sure if it's because we can picture being there (sadly we missed this show though, and we hate ourselves for it), but the cassette really does capture the sound and vibe very nicely. As far as live recordings go, we'd like to assure confidence in this one, it's a killer listen and much needed especially in times like these, and makes absolute sense on tape - as ATC said themselves 'close your eyes and you can almost imagine being there'.
Full, maximum support.
