kdg UK Limited ran a CD/DVD manufacturing plant in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales, purchased from Lynic (eventually closing in early 2007 as Lynic went into istration).
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**
