Vinyl pressing?

I'm working on a new CD release and I've decided that I'm going to pick a couple songs and press a couple hundred 7" records. Basically, when I was a poor musician back in the early 80's I didn't have the bucks to release a 45. Since then, I've put out a couple cool CDs, but I still don't feel like I've made a "record."

Can anyone recommend a pressing plant?

Has anyone here ever pressed vinyl?

Well, yes, but I thought this thread was about pressing plants.
The ones I used have been defunct for many years. Until now, I have not noticed.

I believe Masterdisk in NYC still cuts vinyl.

Do a search "Vinyl record pressing"

Well, they are still pressing 12" for old-school DJs and scratchers, but I haven't heard of anyone pressing 7" for a while, and there's not that much equipment available for playing it. Certainly not in my neck of the woods. Why not burn it to the new "vinyl-look" CD blanks and accept the similarity . . .
