The Chocolate Invasion (subtitled Trax from the NPG Music Club Volume One) is the 29th full-length studio album by Prince, and is the first compilation album of NPG Music Club downloads from 2001-2; a companion piece to The Slaughterhouse (released on the same day).
Four tracks are edits or alternate versions to those previously-released.
In 2003, the album was planned for inclusion as the centerpiece of the The Chocolate Invasion 7 CD set, which was put on hold indefinitely in late 2003, officially due to a manufacturing problem.
The album was issued under two slightly different configurations in 2004 and 2015.

The Dance was removed from the album when it was re-released in 2015 on the Tidal music service, using the original, previously-unissued 2003 configuration with My Medallion, which was not included on the initial release. The original version of The Dance was the sole new track on the firt release of The Chocolate Invasion and was later re-recorded for 3121. The other notable difference being [Sex Me Sex Me Not
