Most of the servers are also located in the UK AFAIK and the first 30 seconds are always streamed from their servers. Managing demand could be a reason.

Considering the amount of invites available (almost every premium subscriber has 50+ invites) I doubt it is more than a marketing strategy.

I'd be extremely suprised if Spotify didn't have servers in the US for this release.
