History
It was established in 1985 by Bad Religion guitarist Brett Gurewitz in Culver City, California after he attended recording school,[3] and re-located to Hollywood, California in February 1987. They moved for the final time in 1988 to the former location of Seymour Heller's Producer's Workshop studios on Hollywood Boulevard.[4] In a back room closet at this location, Epitaph Records had its first office.[3][5]
Donnell Cameron became a partner in 1988 and was the studio owner/engineer until May 12, 2010, when Westbeach Recorders went out of business.
gollark: As a somewhat accursed alternative to the service actually having reasonable query times or some built-in way to get priority.
gollark: Queue position arbitrage seems like a cool idea, actually.
gollark: I have a mostly underutilized VPS running random routing tasks and monitoring for this sort of thing.
gollark: Excellent, guess I'll consider using that.
gollark: I was looking at it, but since I think the backend is closed source I currently just operate a somewhat accursed Wireguard network with routing.
