badgeholderglen Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Maybe this sheds some light .... Panthers26 posted information on the stevehoffman forum back in 2012. Basically E.G. means "exempli gratia" => free sample. (Promo copy) Panthers26 had what he believed to be a UK / Promo test pressing but was disappointed with the lack of power / punch in the bass / drums department.

Pb! Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I saw that too in a couple of threads there, but it makes no sense why a record company would manufacture a separate plate for a promo copy of a record. It is much more likely it's a reference to the pressing plant or the initials of the mastering technician. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
