About this record
Parlophone's UK pressing of Kid A (catalogue LPKIDA 1) ships as a 10-inch 33⅓ RPM album pressed at EMI Records, not the standard 12-inch format — a format choice that immediately signals its rarity among the 4646 collectors who own one against 7723 who want it. The dead-wax matrix 5277531 A, 5277531 B, 5277531 C, and 5277531 D identifies this specific pressing plant run.
Demand outpaces supply: only 20 copies are listed for sale across the market, with the lowest asking price at 133.72 USD, while a Mint specimen commands 317.59 USD.
What drives its value
The 10-inch format and EMI pressing plant create scarcity that drives the price spread from 133.72 USD (current lowest asking price) up to 317.59 USD for Mint condition, with a VG+ copy valued at 217.30 USD according to the price guide. Only 20 copies are currently for sale, indicating tight availability.
The want-to-have ratio of 7723 against 4646 owners confirms sustained collector demand. This UK Parlophone pressing (LPKIDA 1) differs from the CD issue (CDKIDA 3, same year and label) and the USA & Canada XL Recordings vinyl (XLLP782B), making the UK vinyl the original format release.
The 11-track album's experimental IDM production, combined with the non-standard 10-inch pressing and EMI plant attribution, positions this as a format variant that commands premium pricing relative to later reissues.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number LPKIDA 1 printed on the spine and label. The 10-inch format is the first verification point — standard Kid A pressings are 12-inch.
Check the dead-wax runout for the matrix sequence 5277531 A, 5277531 B, 5277531 C, and 5277531 D; these four-part matrices identify the EMI Records pressing plant. The barcode is present on this release.
Grading hinges on vinyl surface condition and sleeve integrity: the gatefold sleeve with printed inner sleeves is original to this pressing. Side D contains a locked groove halfway into the runout that must be bypassed to hear the final track — verify playback reaches the end.
Surface noise, warp, and sleeve seam splits are the primary wear indicators; a VG+ copy shows minimal surface marks and a flat, unwarped disc, valued at 217.30 USD, while VG condition (150.44 USD) permits light surface noise and minor sleeve wear.

Frequently asked
Why is this 10-inch pressing more valuable than a standard 12-inch Kid A?
The 10-inch format (LPKIDA 1, Parlophone UK) is the original pressing variant from 2000, pressed at EMI Records. Standard 12-inch reissues followed later. The format scarcity — only 20 copies currently for sale — and the want-to-have ratio of 7723 collectors wanting it against 4646 who own one drives the premium. A Mint copy reaches 317.59 USD; a 12-inch reissue typically trades lower.
What is a VG+ copy worth, and how does condition affect the price?
A VG+ copy is valued at 217.30 USD according to the price guide. The spread is steep: Mint is 317.59 USD, NM is 284.16 USD, VG+ is 217.30 USD, and VG drops to 150.44 USD. Each grade step reflects surface noise, groove wear, and sleeve condition. The current lowest asking price is 133.72 USD, suggesting a below-VG specimen or a seller clearing stock.
How do I identify the EMI pressing plant on this record?
The dead-wax matrix runout contains four sequences: 5277531 A, 5277531 B, 5277531 C, and 5277531 D. These matrix numbers are stamped into the vinyl at the end of each side and identify the EMI Records pressing plant. Cross-reference the catalogue number LPKIDA 1 on the label and spine to confirm the UK Parlophone original.
What is the locked groove on side D, and does it affect playability?
The release notes specify that D4 is positioned halfway into the runout groove and begins with a locked groove that must be bypassed to hear the song. This is intentional — the groove locks to prevent the stylus from advancing until manually lifted. It does not damage the record but requires active intervention during playback; standard turntables will not auto-advance past it.
Are there other Kid A pressings, and how do they compare in value?
Yes: a CD issue (CDKIDA 3, Parlophone UK, 2000) and a USA & Canada vinyl (XL Recordings, XLLP782B) exist. The UK 10-inch vinyl (LPKIDA 1) is the original format pressing and commands the highest prices due to format rarity and the 4646 collectors who own it against 7723 who want it. The CD and USA vinyl are later or regional variants with lower collector demand.
