The Single
Salt Solution’s one and only single ‘Your Country Needs You‘ was recorded in London’s Scarf Studio and released by the Belgium label Embryo Arts in 1986. The B-side was ‘New Life‘ and over time actually got the band more airplay as measured by the PRS royalties. Both tracks along with ‘Arctic Ostrich‘ that was recorded in the same session were late included in the Arctic Frosties album.
Only 1000 copies were ever pressed and distributed in Belgium, the UK and worldwide, so if you have one consider it a rarity.

The ACM Journal 3rd Anniversary CD
ACM (Alternative Christian Music) Journal was a US magazine covering Indie Christian music in the US and beyond. The publication would compile an annual CD for their readers that could also be bought as a separate issue in the States, The Salt Solution track ‘The Art of Growing Old’ featured on their third volume in 1992 (there was never a fourth) along with some really interesting music and some names that went on to greater things. Fat and Frantic’s hit ‘Last night my wife hoovered my head‘ was featured in this issue (Salt Solution also played on the same bill as Fat and Frantic at the Brixton Academy in 1986) and Sixpence None the Richer who later went on to have global chart success with ‘Kiss Me‘
