10:20 is an album from English art punk band Wire, released on 19 June 2020.[1]

The band considers it a collection of "stray" tracks that didn't fit on previous albums,[1] some of which date back to the 1980s.[2] The album was released for Record Store Day.[2]

The album was initially announced as vinyl only but was eventually released in multiple formats.[3]
