Notes
The compilation album "1-800-NEW-FUNK" shares its name with the toll-free telephone number to buy music and merchandise products. The name was also used for the online retail store (from 1997-2001) before it consolidated in 2001 to the NPG Music Club.

Edited one year agoAfter sticking it to "Warner Bros." with "The Most Beautiful Girl In The World" hit, "The Artist" released the compilation, "1-800-New-Funk" through "Bellmark Records"...This time, I don't think "Warner" was really concerned with this one though....
It's not the best of material, but it does have it's moments....
The best song on here is obviously "Love Sign" with "The Artist" featuring "Nona Gaye" (Daughter of the one and only "Marvin Gaye")...
There is also "Hollywood" by Dr. Funkenstein himself "George Clinton"....
There are other songs by "Mayte" (If I Love U Tonight), "Mavis Staples" (You Will Be Moved), a little known group called "MPLS" (Minneapolis), and "Margie Cox", who was at one time "Ta Mara and The Seen" fame (Standing At The Altar)....
There is also a "Madhouse" t on here in "17", then there "Nona Gaye" again with her version of "Bobby Womack's", "A Woman's Gotta Have It"....
So even if this is not terrible, it is not groundbreaking either....
"Said_Head" might be completely right, I am sure only puriest (like myself) will only be interested....

Edited 3 years agoSome rare tracks on this and absolute for good prices -
referencing 1-800-New-Funk (CD, Album, Compilation) ACD 1412
I really can't recommend this to anyone but a completist; I'm a huge fan myself, but even I have limitations. It makes sense to me that I don't like this comp, considering it's material Prince wrote WITH and FOR other people; to me, with most of the work Prince does with other people he tends to try way too hard.
Take the first track, Minneapolis, a dancey NPG off-shoot meant (in my eyes) solely to be a one-time release by 'MPLS'. With that said, it could've easily fit into the NPG catalogue or something. Could've done without the reprise though.
When I first heard Love Sign on Crystal Ball I thought it was the original (it's just a remix); I have to say I prefer the remix over this heap of beats with the opening 'poppoppopgothepistolbangbangbanggothegun' that irks me something fierce. The remix, I think, clearly idealizes what Prince wanted to do, without sounding messy and bland at the same time.
Mayte's version of 'If I Love U Tonight' isn't that bad, I don't mind listening to it on occasion; she has a great voice, and the music compliments her very well.
The three tracks I mentioned were more or less the only pieces I really looked forward to hearing; I really can't get into the rest of the material.
