Where some albums have torturous histories, this one has had more time on the rack than most! When Play Dead's 1984 LP "From The Promised Land" was reissued in the early 90s, it was re-titled Resurrection, for no good reason that anyone can remember. It transpired that Clay Records had gone bust, sold its catalogue to Sanctuary, who had then released a mish-mash of "From The Promised Land" with a load of singles and b-sides, and re-titled it "Resurrection". The band was powerless to stop the album going out in a format that was never meant to be.

Now Anagram Records have put the track selection back as intended, and re-instated 'Weeping Blood' (absent from Resurrection) to the running order along with 9 bonus tracks. You now have, effectively; the album the band wanted you to hear first time round!

Isabel / Torn On Desire / Walk Away / Pleasureland / Return To The East / No Motive / Holy Holy / Weeping Blood / Bonus Tracks- Break / Bloodstains / Solace / Pale Fire / Sacrosanct / Conspiracy / Bloodstains Pleasure / Solace (Extended Version) / Holy Holy (Catholic Mix)
