See link below with regards to a large scale UK vinyl counterfeiter being prosecuted, although not soul records but it should send a message out to the ones that are involved in doing this. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11941523/Counterfeit-vinyl-salesman-55-1-2million-charging-35-thousands-fake-records.html

See below the latest article from local press here in Middlesbrough. What I can confirm is that they will be starting to press 7" in the summer and with a minimum order of 100 to be pressed. They have an onsite artist who can also do label design or you can submit your own and he will make it fit to size etc. https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/teesside-news/middlesbrough-independent-vinyl-record-firm-25958088
