Original Title: TIL in 1981 Tom Petty voiced his objections when he found out that MCA was going to list his album 'Hard Promises' at $9.98 instead of the usual list price of $8.98. After Petty threatened to name the album 'Eight Ninety Eight' or to even withhold it entirely, MCA decided against raising the price.
