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.

The long-awaited, highly anticipated Jabu full-length!
Regulars to our site and followers of our NoCorner project will already be well aware of the dots that connect us with the the work of Jabu, as friends, supporters and fans. We're super pleased that this record is now out there via Blackest Ever Black, and it's prowess can be heard by everyone that needs to hear it.
We knew about this LP being in the works for some time now, and we waited patiently, knowing that each minute would be worth the wait, and no minute would be spent unnecessarily during the time of creation. Amos Childs, the producer (also half of O$VMV$M, 1/11th of Young Echo) is a perfectionist in his own right, and this becomes clear when listening to the instrumentals below Alex Rendall and Jasmine's vocal layers.
Space is just as important as anything in this record, with each bruised casio rhythm, fragile chord structure and obscured melody dropping, swaying and dancing around the eloquently tuned notes of Alex's vocals, who takes a brave inhale and exhale, lunging his styles closer towards the almost untouchable stylings of giants such as Teddy Pendergrass and The Temptations (as BEB deftly put it).
Having recently welcomed Jasmine's understated, cooly placed, often heart-wrenchingly soft vocals into the Jabu formation, it seems that their sound has found a new harmony working so perfectly within this new Jabu dynamic.
From first drop of the stylus, Sleep Heavy opens the door and shuts it neatly upon entry.
We are in the room, the lights have been dimmed. A new glow shines from within, with the flickering glow leading us on a mysterious, cogitative journey from the inside out -
It is, first and foremost, a meditation on grief, on loss, making sense of separation and death; but it also looks forward to what might come after the aftermath: healing, acceptance, the chance to begin again.
That said, with the lyrics often being more of a melodic current in a warm blanket of sound, rather than a dominant projection of narrative, it's really up to the listener to embark into their introspective sphere...
Really beautiful stuff.
It will feel familiar right after the first listen, and it will open itself up even more with each listen.
No doubt, a future Bristol classic, in time this will be sitting alongside the greatest.
Comes with DL code.
