Pop star Prince is to repeat a deal giving his latest album away free with two national newspapers, it has been announced.
More than 2.5m copies of 20Ten will appear inside copies of the Daily Mirror and Daily Record on 10 July.
The star's spokeswoman Kiran Sharma said the deal shows "it is still possible for artists to work in an independent and innovative capacity".
In 2007, Prince gave away copies of Planet Earth with the Mail On Sunday.
The giveaway angered retailers, who called it "an insult" to high street record stores.
But the offer was deemed a huge success after the papers quickly sold out.
