Hey Luv.

Has it been confirmed that it won't be released in the U.S.?

I haven't heard that.

How about if it were marketed kind of like this:

"Released only in Europe! Never before heard in America - until now! The album you've only heard about is at the wrecka stow tomorrow!"

I don't know, it could work.

I'm sure he'd release it in the US if there are any takers. I guess none of the record companies here showed any interest to make a deal with Prince at the price he's asking. I don't blame them though.

Here's your confirmation: It's August, 23, 2010 today. No 20TEN in the US. Move on.

here is how prince could release 20ten in the u.s

clear channel owns over 400 radio stations in the u.s,prince gives them rights to play 20 ten and how its distributed if each radio station gives it away through promotions(of course he will get money up front)warner brothers does not seem interested or even other record labels..i dont think a retail store not interested also...so why not try this

You, or anyone, doesn't really know who Prince shopped 20Ten to, or if at all. He was at Warner Bros, but there was never any truthful reports that he talked about 20Ten with them. He will forever have business with WB, so him actually being seen there isn't that big of a deal. Sure, we'd hope for something big, but so far - nada. Leaks of stuff coming out would have surfaced by now.

You also don't know what retail outlet is 'interested' in Prince or not. Retail outlets do that shit all the time now, whether it's Prince, Justin Timberlake, Rooney, Christina Aguilera, or whoever. Prince is another one in line for a deal, IF he talks to someone about. Seems he's not talked to anyone about 20Ten distribution in the US.

vitriol

After being premiered as a covermount cd with European outlets, I don't think any American retailer or wholesaler is willing to play second fiddle.

Especially when many American people already got the cd through European friends, the very outlets in question or eBay.

And more especially when the album is far from being great.

But I saw no confirmation about a firm decision for the album not to come out 'officially' in the U.S. in any shape or form.

Were approaching September...I'm pretty confident that we will never see a U.S. release for it. Too much time has elapsed, if there was any intention on selling it in the U.S. it would have been announced probably back in June/July or something.

I am confident that it will be released in the US, but in a different format, most likely packaged with another album.

There's evidence to support this.

Hey M what evidence have you seen? Just curious. I really hope this is the case but as the days go on and no word I'm beginning to wonder.

Zero proof to support this. It's a mixture of bad/rough translations of interviews and fan speculation/wishing.

Or..... someone who heard something from somebody that directly worked on the album and has been asked to work on ideas for a re-release.

Again, this is nothing but random speculation.
