A rare promotional‑only CD from 1994 featuring Nona Gaye and the Love Symbol, showcasing three mixes of the single “Love Sign” from the NPG era. RELEASE DETAILS Date: 1994 (Promotional release) Catalogue: 0000005NPG (Germany Promo CD) Format: CD Promo Single Country: United States / Germany Label: NPG Records / edel Album: 1-800 New Funk (1994) A-Side: Love Sign THE STORY This promotional CD for “Love Sign” represents a fascinating slice of Prince’s mid-’90s output. Credited to Nona Gaye & the Love Symbol, the disc includes three versions of the song: the Radio Edit, the 1-800 New Funk Version, and the Storyboard Video Mix. It was intended strictly for promotion and never received a full commercial retail release due to Warner Bros. interference. The track later appeared on the 1-800 New Funk compilation album. CONTEXT & NOTES “Love Sign” was the lead promotional single for the 1-800 New Funk project. Produced by Prince and Ricky P, it features vocal contributions from Nona Gaye and samples from related Paisley Park sessions. Marked “Strictly Not For Sale! For Promotion Only!”, this CD is a highly collectible item from Prince’s independent NPG era. A Silky Remix by Shock G later appeared on Crystal Ball (1998).

Promoters had requested a hits medley for the show; instead of performing one live, Prince assembled a full studio megamix at Paisley Park in late 1994, blending re-recorded vocals, fresh transitions, and samples from his most iconic tracks. The medley was paired with a video screened before concerts, acting as a retrospective of Prince’s 1980s and early-1990s catalogue. CONTEXT & NOTES This single served as a high-energy retrospective bridging Prince’s catalogue during a major tour period. It features the non-album Kirk J’s B-Sides Remix. The medley compresses over a decade of hits into one continuous piece. Issued across multiple commercial and promo formats. TRACK LIST 7" Single (7-17903) A. Purple Medley (Edit) — 3:14 B.

A fierce Emancipation‑era promo derailed by EMI’s collapse. RELEASE DETAILS Date: April 1997 Catalogue: SPRO 11698 (12") / DPRO-11698 (CD) Format: 12" Promo Vinyl, CD Promo Single Country: United States / United Kingdom Label: NPG Records / EMI A-Side: Face Down THE STORY Released in April 1997 as the third promotional-only single from the album Emancipation, “Face Down” featured exclusive remixes not available on the commercial album. A full commercial single was planned for May 1997, but it was cancelled when EMI shut down the division responsible for the project amid corporate restructuring. As a result, only promo copies were ever produced. CONTEXT & NOTES This release captures the raw, confrontational energy of the Emancipation era. The 12" promo included two “Money Mix” versions and an a cappella, while the B-side featured the album version of “I Can’t Make You Love Me.” The sudden cancellation of promotional efforts made these promos the only physical formats issued.
