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'll always remember the impression that the first disc on ZamZam made with us, being presented with the storming roots of 'Every Time' and it's dub -
still a favourite in RwdFwd HQ, and a much treasured collectors item by now.
40 discs deep, and the ZamZam catalogue has presented us with an array of sounds from the vast spectrum of dub music, and it seems like the natural thing for the label to return to it's 'second spiritual home' Bristol, for more unearthing of classic dubplate material from the legendary Henry & Louis.
Initially released in 'heavily edited' version, on the ZamZam pre-cursor of the 90's 'BSI Records' and then later on Jack Lundie and Andy Scholes' 2kings imprint, the vocal was recorded on a visit to Jamaica in 1996, with Johnny Clarke.
However, this full vocal cut and the stripped back version never made it past the acetate stage, until now.
Coming from around the same time as 'Every Time', 'Love & Understanding' hits a similar current of 90's style UK soundsystem music to ZamZam01, in terms of it's heavily bass-centric rhythm, sparse delivery and it's roots-indebted steppers feel.
Johnny's vocal sits effortlessly in the mix, giving the rough bedrock of rhythm and sparse melody all the playroom it needs to shake down the foundations.
A special mention has to go out to that incredibly raw, stripped back dub version, this is the kind of dub that stands apart from the rest.
Militantly dubwise, whilst maintaining a subtle stance with the careful dubbing of Johnny's voice and occasional glimpses of thr original cutting through the foundations -
Absolute killer!
Limited to 900, vinyl-only.
