Glen Hutchinson
We Need Some Satisfaction
333 - Cat No: 333024
- updated:2025-09-01
Originally released in 1975 on Flame label, the cult NYC Brooklyn imprint, Glen Hutchinson's "We Need Some Satisfaction" is a hidden gem of rare-groove-flavored reggae funk with a strange, alluring pull — now given a miraculous official 7-inch reissue by Death Is Not The End's reggae-specialist arm, 333. The B-side dub is dope and funky too. Limited edition.
Following the Nairobi Sisters 45 in 2023 and Revolutionaries LP in 2024, 333 is back for 2025 with another rare mid-1970s cut out of Winston Jones' Flatbush-based Flames label catalogue.
It is issued here under license from Jones, aka the original singer and composer of Stop That Train with the Spanish Town Skabeats aka The Spanishtonians. Making the move from JA to NYC in the early 1970s he established and ran the state-side Flames label, nursing it into a key imprint in Brooklyn's reggae scene from the mid-1970s until the early 1990s. This in-demand roots cut features a stellar horn section in combination with urgent, soul-inflected vocals from Glen Hutchinson. Backed with a killer stripped-back dub.

Following Nairobi Sisters' "Promised Land" in 2023 and The Revolutionaries' "Meditation in Dub" in 2024, 333 delivers an official reissue of a super-rare 1975 single: Glen Hutchinson's "We Need Some Satisfaction" on 7-inch, pulled from the catalogue of Flames Records — the cult Brooklyn reggae label founded and run from the mid-1970s to the early 1990s by Winston Jones, also the writer of "Stop That Train." Side B's "Dub Music" (sample 2), a dope, funky killer instrumental dub performance by backing band The Rough Riders, is equally great and sinks right in. Just the right temperature — you'll be spellbound by its loose, mysterious, maddening groove. (Original Japanese text by COMPUMA)
