<!-------ALBUM TEXT ------->
|introduction           = '''Man‘O’War (Remix) NPG Records Sampler''' is an unreleased sampler cassette planned for distribution by [[NPG Records]] in 2000 in conjunction with [[Prince]]’s 23rd album [[Album: Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic|Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic]] (his sixth using the name [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]]), although it may have been intended as promotion for the companion album [[Album: Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic|Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic]] (which was delayed and released in 2001). 

The artwork included the phrase "Nine Deep Trax", and the cassette is often referred to as such. It included edits of several unreleased tracks by various [[NPG Records]] artists, many of which remain unreleased. Unlike many samplers, the edits contained the beginning and ending of most tracks, with the edits taking place in the core of the song, rather than a simple fade-out at the end.

[[Come 2 My House]] had previously been released on [[Album: Come 2 My House|Come 2 My House]]. [[Man‘O’War]] (Remix) was released in 2001 on [[Album: Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic|Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic]]. [[Peace]] and [[2045: Radical Man]] were both released in 2001 on the [[Single: Peace|Peace]] single, attributed to the [[Band: New Power Generation|New Power Generation]] (although [[2045: Radical Man]] had also been released in late 2000 on the [[Album: Bamboozled|Bamboozled]] soundtrack album attributed to [[Prince]]).  In 2001, the full version of the [[Hit U In The Socket]] remix was offered as an mp3 download as part of [[NPG_Music_Club_Year_One_Releases#NPGMC_Edition_.23_4|NPG Music Club Edition # 4]].

The other tracks remain unreleased. [[Kamasutra/Overture #8|Seventeen]] and [[Promise/Broken|Eighteen]] by [[Madhouse]] are in fact quite drastically alternate versions of [[Kamasutra/Overture #8]] and [[Promise/Broken]] respectively, planned for a [[Album: 24 (1994)|Madhouse album]] planned for a 1995 release — on which confusingly they were titled [[Kamasutra/Overture #8|Overture #5]] and [[Promise/Broken|Overture #6]] respectively. A different version of [[T.R.O.U.B.L.E.|Trouble (Never Give Up)]] by [[Rosie Gaines]] was later released as [[T.R.O.U.B.L.E.]] on [[Rosie Gaines]]' 2015 compilation [[Album: Essential Rosie|Essential Rosie]]. [[Do U Wanna Get Funky?]] (attributed to [[Larry Graham]], rather than [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham_Central_Station Graham Central Station]) contains vocals by [[Prince]] (as [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]]). A short sample of this song can be heard on the [[GCS_2000_Segues| first segue]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham_Central_Station Graham Central Station]‘s album [[Album: GCS 2000|GCS 2000]].
