Hey

.

Just wondered if anyone remembers whether the NPP boxset (https://www.discogs.com/release/1811158-Graham-Central-Station-Chaka-Khan-New-Power-Generation-NPG-Newpowerpak) was released before or after GCS2000. As it was thu 1-800 New-Funk, I'm not too sure, but it's listed everywhere as being from 1998, while CGS 2000 alone was released on 02/02/1999 (and Princevault considers it the first release date, suggesting the boxset wasn't out yet). I think I remember hearing about the boxset in 98, but unsure if it was just announced or properly released.

Thanks for your help

Whoa, long shot. I do remember the talk about the NPP back in 1998, but I'm nearly sure it didn't come out before the stand alone release of GCS2000 in the Winter of 1999. Most likely it was a case like Crystal Ball - collecting orders before the complete thing was ready, even though the NPG and Chaka Khan albums were released already back then in 1998.

before.

amp "The official release date for GCS2000 is February 16th. However, NEW-FUNK
will be releasing it a couple of weeks early to those who sent in their
donations for Love4OneAnother. The NewPowerPak should be released around the
same time." https://groups.google.com...dGqIlhx9cJ
