Great American Music MacHine, Inc. v. Mid-South Record Pressing Co.
District Court, M.D. Tennessee (1975) | 393 F. Supp. 877; 17 U.C.C. Rep. Serv. (West) 381; 1975 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 14093
TL;DR: A record company sued a manufacturer for delivering defective albums. The court found a breach of warranty but rejected claims for lost profits from the speculative venture, instead awarding damages limited to the reasonable costs of rehabilitating the product's launch after the breach.
Legal Significance: Establishes that for a new, speculative business venture, consequential damages for lost profits are unavailable if not proven with reasonable certainty. It provides an alternative damage measure under UCC § 2-714: expenses reasonably incurred to rehabilitate the product after the seller's breach.
