From the Promised Land is a 1984 album by Play Dead, and the original version of the band's Resurrection (1992). Only 1000 copies of this LP were pressed because the band members decided they were dissatisfied with the album.
When this album was originally released, the same people who gave negative reviews of "The First Flower: A Six Track Album" practically praised this new album when it was released in May 1984. Conny Plank took notice of Play Dead and turned down a contract to produce U2's "The Unforgettable Fire" to produce Play Dead's next album Company of Justice instead.
