kdg UK Limited

kdg UK Limited ran a CD/DVD manufacturing plant in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales, purchased from TIB in 2003. The company was incorporated on 30th May 2003 and commenced trading on 5th June 2003. It was announced in 2006 that this plant was to be sold due to poor performance, and in April it was sold to Lynic (eventually closing in early 2007 as Lynic went into administration). kdg UK Limited is never named in the disc matrix, but can be identified by the following matrix pattern on releases with release date 2003-06, or with uncertain dates where sorting of the matrix number suggests a 2003-06 manufacturing period: Matrix / Runout: █ [matrix number] [release catalogue# or other variable release-specific information] ## █ Mastering SID code: IFPI LP56 / LP57 Mould SID code: IFPI 5H** Please note that these SID codes were also used by TIB and Lynic, so it is important not to credit kdg UK Limited on releases manufactured outside the 2003-06 period during which the plant operated under this name. Any disc with a matrix number below B16000 should be credited to TIB instead. The matrix number is in the form B##### (CDs) or D##### (DVDs), and can be entered as the catalogue# for kdg UK Limited when entered in LCCN with one or both of the roles suggested below. Preferred LCCN role: · Glass Mastered At - with mastering SID code IFPI LP5* · Pressed By - with any mastering SID code and mould SID code IFPI 5H** · Glass Mastered At and Pressed By - with mastering SID code IFPI LP5* and mould SID code 5H**
