Remix

When Play Dead released From the Promised Land in early May 1984, the band decided that the sound was too plain and remixed the entire album. Every new version of each song featured more electronics and re-recorded vocals by Rob Hickson. Also, certain drum beats were rearranged, an example is "Walk Away"'s faster-paced introduction. The most notable differences in these remixes when compared to the original versions are in "Walk Away" and "Weeping Blood. " "Torn On Desire's" remix seems to have a more toned down guitar. The new versions of "Holy Holy," "No Motive," and "Weeping Blood" are longer than the originals. The new version of the album became the standard version at the time and had a sticker that read "remix" on the front cover.

2007 Version

"From the Promised Land" was re-released on CD on June 18, 2007 in the UK. This is third edition of the title "From The Promised Land" and the fourth edition of the album.
