“I used to buy import soul / funk / jazz-funk from Spin Inn '75-'79. Greg Wilson's article makes great reading, but should've given a mention to HMV on Market Street and a guy called Derek (?) who stocked import 7's as soon as Spin Inn and knew his soul music. I also used to go to Smarty's next door for funk sessions '78-'79 hearing several disco classics there for first time ("Native New Yorker" & "Shame" included).”
