In September 2023, a Late 1994 NPG newsletter that was in progress, but ultimately never released, was included posthumously in an auction of Gotta Have Rock And Roll. In the News section, a sequel to the 1994 compilation 1-800 New Funk is announced with a release planned for Summer 1995 with the following line: "Stay tuned 4 the next 1-800 NEWFUNK compilation from NPG Records." .
No further details were given. A NPG Xmas album was also announced in this News section.
Oddly, this second 1-800 NEWFUNK project was mentioned in this newsletter only which was to be released at the end of 1994. This compilation was never mentioned or refered to in 1995, not even on the NPG Records Sampler Experience distributed in March 1995. It is likely that this compilation was never fully compiled, and remained more of an idea than a fully executed project.
