Has a great selection of records a really nice store has a lot of different records in different genres

Absolute disgrace of a company. Avoid this place at all costs. The test pressing were distorted, had massive volume fluctuations, and channel drop outs; yet, the office manager insisted that they were flawless. After notifying them about the errors, they aggressively accused me lying and said that it was because of my gear. Cleary they do not do quality control because after just one second of listening to the pressing, anyone would be able to hear that they were defective. Only after sending them three videos, on three different turntables, and providing a waveform rip, did they admit that they erred. After 9 months of correspondence and no product, I requested a refund, which they did not grant. The second round of test pressings were also flawed, but I had no choice but to run them or lose my money. Also, I was told (in writing) that a custom matrix etch was free of cost, but after the run, they charged me for it. The final product was cut lopsided, printed uneven, and covered in streaks and greasy fingerprints. When I brought this up to them, their response was "that's just industry standard." Since, working with them, I have heard countless horror stories about this company. These people do not care about their clients, especially independent artists. Erika Records are lowlife con artists. read more

Just made a bunch of 10" records with them. They did an amazing job! I see lots of people giving 1 star... but my experience was excellent. Maybe they learned their lesson or something, cuz all I know is they made perfect dj records for us skratchers out here! read more

DO NOT PRESS YOUR RECORDS HERE. I have gotten so many returns from customers for warped records and off-center grooves that I just had to toss thousands of dollars worth of vinyl into the dumpster. A few of my friends' bands had their records pressed here recently and had the same experience. No quality control -- no quality, period. Super bummer, and an expensive mistake on my part. BUYER BEWARE! read more

You've been warned! I've been pressing my own releases for 30 years, and although the staff is fairly friendly, Erika's QUALITY is the WORST i've ever seen. I even gave them 2nd and 3rd chances to redeem themselves. They gave a partial refund, but it was only for the vinyl itself, not the labels or shipping or other integral expenses incurred to make the records, so not a real effective refund in reality. read more

What an awesome experience! If you are a musician or band or company and recording a special album, this place is the best! I've searched the industry presses and finally found one I love to work with!! They are truly a professional team and there's a musical soul in the building, even to their dog Elvis. The albums are recorded in their studio and molds created to press quality albums with incredible detail! This is a massive facility, they take pride in their work. The creativity is incredible. I loved experiencing it. I HIGHLY recommend them and also recommend you take the trip to California and watch your albums being made amongst the other greats in the industry there. I originally thought it was a smaller operation and I was wrong...they are classic and making records for some top labels. Wonderful! Thank you Liz and to everyone at Erika Records for making music tangible again! Definitely you will love the results and experience like I did!! I also salute you, to a pure American company, so cool!! Niko read more

Erika Records - Erika Records!! Thanks for classic American quality manufacturing and making our music that you can touch! Niko - Vinyl Records Near Me - Buena Park, California

This place says they take temp checks there's even a sign on the door and not once they ever took a temp check Ever while I was working there. This place doesn't sanitize. They say they do, but everything is dirty back there? They throw snot rags in the trash bins where all the "messed up" records go. Two people had Covid recently. They send their little employee around to hand out papers to let everyone know in that uncirculated stuffy warehouse that to be aware, but the guy failed to give me one even though he looked right at me and gave another person one in front of me. Honestly the managers are assholes and use profanity language it's just not professional. Most smoke cigarettes and you can't ever get a good breathe of fresh air. Even inside the warehouse with you're good ole mask it smells like chemicals. 16 dollars a hour and they're making you work the shittiest jobs in the shittiest environment with 40 year old machines. Claiming from another employer. Two months of working there was good enough. I left everyday irritated. read more

If you believe and enjoy in listening to vinyl than you believe in preserving the manufacturing of vinyl as well. Why Erika Records is for me: -Quality vinyl, if theres an issue they are very reasonable and fix it. -Quick production for high demands -Entire operation manufactured in house: printing sleeves, covers, artwork, multi-color vinyl, shaped records, you name it, if its related to vinyl Erika does it themselves, NO OUTSOURCING -American company employing American people. read more

Here's another lame US pressing plant (in the same league as United and Rainbo) that does not practice any quality control. Just about every pressing of theirs is off-centre and full of surface noise. The people who work in their plant must be on a steady diet of KFC as the records from this plant are always covered in greasy fingerprints. They just don't care as long as they get the records out the door. It's a tell-tale sign that when you leave a review on their facebook page, they delete it instantly and ban you from the page! They know their work is garbage. Press your records at RTI instead, or send the job to Europe if RTI isn't an option. Don't continue to support low-quality operations like this just because you're desperate to get a record pressed. read more

I have done 3 pressings with Erika. Glad there are folks still making vinyl but don't count on quality control. Never had a great experience but most recently, 149 of the 500 records I ordered were warped. Fixing the problem took forever and the staff was irritated to have to talk to me. I hate reading bad reviews... I usually just think folks should get a life, but felt this one was necessary. Don't get screwed. read more

Shannon was more than helpful with my first project with Erika and it couldn't have gone better. Great product, great service and very accommodating to my need for expedited service. Went out of her way to help me meet a deadline. Highly recommended. read more

Oh, let me count the ways! Poor vinyl cutting. Didn't take the time to cut nice deep grooves. This is easier to do as it takes time to optimize a music file onto vinyl. Poor communication and soooooooooo slow. I had an issue with my records and it took 5 weeks to get me an answer as to what the issue was. I authorized a 45 test pressing (my fault) that had noise. They told me that once I authorized a test pressing they were not responsible for any part of the process, including the cutting, making the mother and stampers, and even pressing issues. Test pressings are made so you don't press the whole lot with a bad stamper and have no effect or benefit on any part of the process that comes before it. I've worked with other pressing plants. When I was going through their excessive paperwork, I had the feeling that they must have been burnt many times and they're protecting themselves. They were actually protecting themselves from being culpable for their own mistakes. I should have know that a company that puts all their time into gimmick packaging, every color of vinyl under the sun, and has been for years trying to perfect the 'singing postcard', that their interest is not in pressing good records. read more
