✦ NPG Ahdio Show 11 – NPG Music Club: Jan. 2002

A deep‑cut megamix bridging studio, vault, and rehearsal energy — released as part of NPGMC Edition 12, and later reborn inside the Glam Slam VIP experience.

✦ — SUMMARY

Released on January 17, 2002 as part of NPG Music Club Edition 12, NPG Ahdio Show 11 arrived alongside a major batch of new downloads: Madrid 2 Chicago, Breathe, One Nite Alone…, U’re Gonna C Me, Here On Earth, and A Case Of U. Because Edition 9 did not include an Ahdio Show, the numbering of editions and Ahdio Shows fell out of sync — a quirk that became part of NPGMC lore.

Thirteen days later, additional audio and video content was added, including Anotherloverholenyohead (Live), Face Down (Per4mance), and the video documentary Prince: Musical Portrait.

Ahdio Show 11 is a hybrid: part megamix, part archival showcase, part rehearsal‑room document. In 2003, segments of the show were streamed in the Glam Slam VIP Room as the “Glam Slam VIP Mix,” and were later announced for inclusion in the cancelled Chocolate Invasion 7‑CD set under the name Glam Slam Club Mix.

The final fifteen minutes feature rehearsal recordings — likely from 1998–2000 at Paisley Park — including an instrumental groove resembling both “Groove On” and “The Undertaker,” though its identity remains ambiguous. No official artwork exists for this or any Ahdio Show.
