The company was started in the bedroom of owner Eric Mueller and has grown into a full-scale operation that now includes offices in Emeryville, California, New Jersey, and Czech Republic.
[1] Mueller started Pirates Press with the intent to ‘protect independent labels, bands, artists and businesses from being swindled and handicapped by big corporate manufacturers who really don’t care about them.’”[2] The company has seen 75-100% yearly growth since its inception.
[5] Clients include Tom Petty, White Stripes, Beck, Slayer, Eric Clapton, Madonna, and more.
This means customers have access to just about anything they can dream up, from orange marble to translucent red; solid white to half-purple and half-green; even glitter and glow-in-the-dark.
"[8] Pirates Press' engineers have created a technology that can digitally recreate a record before it is cut to analyze what the grooves would look like with different input settings or a different version of the master.
