| 20Ten Deluxe is an unreleased album by Prince, tentatively planned for release in 2010, likely as an expanded edition of 20Ten.
The album was announced by a radio-DJ when he played the unreleased Rich Friends on French radio station Europe 1 on 8 October 2010 as a song from the "new" album, 20Ten Deluxe. The song was later streamed on other radio stations but no more announcement was made. An artwork for a single release was made by Anthony Malzone but was ultimately abandoned.
It is safe to assume that 20Ten Deluxe would have contained most, if not all, of the tracks from 20Ten in their already released forms, the original longer and unedited versions or remixes with bonus tracks very much like Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic was the companion piece of Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic. Besides Rich Friends, it has been rumored, but not confirmed, that the deluxe version may include Welcome 2 America and Hot Summer as well as longer versions of Lavaux and Laydown (the latter was streamed on 3rd Eye Girl YouTube channel). It is not known if Cause And Effect which mentions tracks from 20Ten in its lyrics but not included on the final album was planned for the 20Ten Deluxe edition.
Nothing else is known about the album, although it has been said that it could have been released by Warner Bros. in the United States and other countries to compensate for the Europe-only (and limited in time) release of the original 20Ten album.
