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 1991 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.
