1800 New Funk catalog

Anyone have screen caps of the one (and only) 1800 New Funk catalog? I haven't seen it in a billion years, but I remember getting 2 copies back in the day and boy do I miss it now.

I can hook you up with scans of Neo Manifesto. Orgnote me your email and I'll get it to you.

If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

Surely someone remembers this catalog and has screenshots of it, right? This was put out back around 1993 or 1994 and had items inside like replicas of the chain hat from MNIP, tshirts, music, VHS, and other memorabilia listed for sale inside. They were supposed to keep doing them, but after the first one it was canceled and you had to call up 1800 New Funk.

I have the catalog, but don't have scans of it. I'm pretty sure I've seen scans somewhere though.

I'm certain they have to be somewhere, but googling "1800 New Funk catalog" brings back nothing of use, lol. You would think someone on the org has scans!

No scanner here, but was it kind of shaped odd? The sides were slanted like this... / \ ? I don' think you're talking about this one? I don't have a scanner, just pics, and they're not very clear. Sorry.

No, this catalog looked similar to um.... Now this is really stretching my memory, but it was the same stock and size as a tour book almost, I wanna say. I could be wrong about that, but I seem to remember it being decently sized? Inside listed all items that were sold at the NPG MPLS store incl the angel replicas they sold for $5-6000. This was something you would get in the mail every quarter. I can't remember what was on the cover but it had actual art direction going on rather than just a symbol or black.

I'm pretty sure I know which one you are talking about. I think the cover had an actual picture from inside the NPG retail store. It was decent sized and thicker paper. The pics I posted is just what the 2nd "catatolog" was shipped in. It folded out to a poster of Prince and on the other side showed the merchandise. I'll try and do some digging tomorrow and find it.

OMG! Yes! It had a picture of the front lobby of the store! That's absolutely right!

^ Cool. Now that I've seen the guts, I'm pretty sure I have the physical catalog somewhere in my house.
