About this record
The Vinyl Factory Manufacturing pressed this 2010 reissue at the old EMI plant on Blyth Road in Hayes, London—a detail confirmed by LOUD Mastering and rarely cited in standard listings. Cut from masters approved by Robert Fripp and pressed on 200-gram super-heavyweight vinyl, this stereo reissue sits between the original 1969 Island pressing and the later 2019 Panegyric edition, commanding steady demand: 5336 collectors want it against 28894 who own one.
What drives its value
This 2010 reissue trades on condition more than rarity. The price guide spans from 39.28 USD in Mint down to 2.07 USD in Poor, with a VG+ copy valued at 26.88 USD and VG at 18.61 USD.
Currently 115 copies are listed for sale, with the lowest asking 20.47 USD. The reissue sits between the scarcer original 1969 UK pressing on Island Records and the 2019 Panegyric version; its value derives from the Fripp-approved master cut, 200-gram weight, and gatefold packaging rather than pressing rarity.
Community ownership (28894 have) far exceeds want (5336), anchoring prices to condition and completeness—particularly whether the download code for a 320 kbps transfer of the 1969 pressing remains unused.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number KCLP1 across Discipline Global Mobile, Panegyric, and Inner Knot label variants. The dead-wax runout reads KC LP 1 A-1 JONZ LOUD on side A and KC LP 1 B-1 JONZ LOUD on side B, identifying The Vinyl Factory Manufacturing (formerly EMI Hayes) as the pressing plant.
The label states Made in England, Stereo, with copyright and phonogram marks dated 2010 to Robert Fripp. Grade by examining the gatefold jacket for creasing and the white poly-lined inner sleeve for tears; check the vinyl surface under light for hairline scratches that separate VG+ from VG.
The barcode is present. Note whether the download code sticker remains on the jacket or has been redeemed—its presence adds to perceived completeness but does not alter the guide value.

Frequently asked
How does this 2010 pressing compare in value to the original 1969 Island Records version?
The 1969 UK pressing on Island Records (ILPS 9111) commands significantly higher prices due to age and lower surviving quantities. This 2010 reissue, pressed at The Vinyl Factory Manufacturing from Fripp-approved masters on 200-gram vinyl, is a more affordable entry point for the album. Its value is driven by condition and the inclusion of the gatefold and download code, not by scarcity. Collectors seeking the original sonic character without the 1969 pressing's cost or condition risk often choose this reissue.
What is a VG+ copy of this pressing worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ copy is valued at 26.88 USD. This estimate reflects market data as recorded in the guide and assumes the vinyl shows minimal surface marks audible only on quiet passages, the gatefold remains clean with no seam splits, and the inner sleeve is intact. Current listings show 115 copies for sale with the lowest asking 20.47 USD, suggesting some negotiation room below guide for well-graded examples.
Does the download code affect the resale value?
The price guide does not differentiate between copies with or without the download code, so it does not formally adjust the valuation. However, an unused code may appeal to buyers seeking the 320 kbps transfer of the 1969 original, and its presence can signal that the record has been handled carefully. A redeemed or missing code does not reduce the guide value but may make a copy marginally less attractive in a competitive market with 115 copies available.
How can I verify this is pressed at The Vinyl Factory Manufacturing?
Check the dead-wax runout on both sides: side A reads KC LP 1 A-1 JONZ LOUD and side B reads KC LP 1 B-1 JONZ LOUD. The JONZ LOUD marks identify the pressing plant as The Vinyl Factory Manufacturing (formerly the EMI plant in Hayes, London). This detail was confirmed via direct communication with LOUD Mastering and is printed in the runout rather than on the label, making it a reliable plant identifier.
What is the minimum and maximum price range for this pressing across all conditions?
The price guide spans from 2.07 USD for a Poor copy up to 39.28 USD for a Mint example. A NM copy is valued at 35.15 USD, VG+ at 26.88 USD, and VG at 18.61 USD. The wide spread reflects the importance of condition on a reissue with 28894 copies in collector hands; even small differences in surface noise, jacket wear, and sleeve integrity shift value significantly across the grade scale.
