We are the music makers - producers?

Cheers. Curved in Hackney, which is near to me, seem to be a decent place to get mastering done. I'd rather not send the lacquer off to GZ if possible, but other options appear to be rather limited.

dont use curved
they outsource pressing to france.
messed up the sleeve, spindle, and print as well as taking 3 months when quoted 6 weeks.
will never ever use them again or recommend them to anyone.
