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 are proud to present a handful of this edition of special dubplates, limited to 10 pieces and only available via our store or direct from RF.
Each one has been cut by Henry at Dub Studio, here in Bristol, on to 7" vinyl dubplate.
Hand-made labels and insert, in different sleeve colours and variations.
Lo-fi, original roots for all those who cherish the old-time sound and want something fresh and special to keep this sound spinning with.
Here are the official words from the label themselves, all wrapped up nice and clear:
Purpleman deejayed with King Jammy's sound system, including performing at 'clashes' with other systems such as Youth Promotion, Arrows, Killamanjaro and Black Scorpio at the 'Shock of the Century' in 1985. Purpleman's first release was an album entitled Hot In 1982. He went on to record a series of albums shared with other deejays including Yellowman, Sister Nancy, and Papa Tollo. In 2014 he made a comeback with a new album entitled "Home Once More".
The riddim was produced by Frankie at Roots Factory. To achieve the old analogue sound he was aiming for, he reached out to Al Breadwinner in Manchester who laid down the drum & bass parts at the Bakery Studio. The Bakery studio is small home studio located in Manchester UK. Lots of old equipment (tape echoes & reverb springs). Al records everything as live as possible on a Tascam 388 8-track tape machine with a desk welded on, a machine built for making dub.
A little tape hiss is a fair trade for warm analog sound.
Additional piano & percussion was added by Frankie in his Bristol studio where he mixed the vocal & dub.
Originally this record was available via the 'Higher level Mastering' fundraiser campaign. This campaign was set up to further advance the workings of 'Dub Studio'. Dub Studio is the online dubplate and mastering specialist - vinyl dubs, acetates, master lacquers and digital masters, all under one roof. It is here at Dub Studio where we cut all our our dubplates and we were very happy to donate a track to help raise funds for such an essential service.
In true roots factory form, these mixes are exclusive to this release only (10 copies).
The mixes are different to those that appeared on the 'Higher Level Mastering' campaign.
This is your only chance to buy this tune, no represses, no digital versions."
-- Nuff Said!
the last lot of dubplates from Roots Factory went in a matter of minutes, so if you read this, it may already be too late.
Limited to 10.
7" vinyl dubplate, cut in Bristol, by Dub Studio.
