Deleted Scenes from the Cutting Room Floor is the debut album by Dutch singer Caro Emerald. The album was conceived, written and produced as a studio project by David Schreurs, Vincent Degiorgio, Jan van Wieringen and Caroline van der Leeuw, and released in the Netherlands with Emerald as the starring artist on January 29, 2010 on their own label Grandmono.
The album was preceded by the hit singles "Back It Up", officially released in the Netherlands on July 6, 2009, and "A Night Like This", released on December 11, 2009.
On 28 June 2011, a new version of the album has been released in Italy, featuring a DVD, three bonus tracks recorded live, and a duet with Italian singer Giuliano Palma in the song "(Vivere) Riviera Life".
The title refers to a figurative term in the film industry. Scenes were cut in the so-called cutting room, where the deleted and therefore unused scenes fell to the cutting room floor. In accordance with the movie theme, David Schreurs and Vincent Degiorgio are credited as creative directors for creating the visual and conceptual world around the music, like artwork and videos. Each song also has an individual synopsis, written by Degiorgio and added as liner notes to the album artwork.
The album debuted at number one in the Dutch Albums Chart. Between February 6, 2010 and August 28, 2010, the album left the top spot for two weeks only, in April and in June, replaced by Jan Smit's Leef and Alain Clark's Colorblind, respectively. On August 20, 2010, Deleted Scenes from the Cutting Room Floor spent its 27th non-consecutive week at number one and became the longest running number-one album in the Netherlands, beating Michael Jackson's Thriller, which held the top spot for 26 weeks in 1983. The album later returned to #1, spending a total of 30 non-consecutive weeks on top of the Dutch Albums Chart.
Moreover, as of September 2011, Deleted Scenes from the Cutting Room Floor spent a total of 77 weeks in the Dutch Top 10, tying with Michael Jackson's Thriller as the longest ever running album there.
