Beyond Salvation is the ninth studio album by the Australian hard rock band The Angels, produced and recorded in Memphis by Terry Manning. It was released in the US in November 1989 and in Australia in June 1990. The album peaked at No. 1 on the ARIA Albums Chart and it also peaked at number 3 on the Recorded Music NZ.[3][4]

The US version of the album, released under the name The Angels From Angel City, featured a vastly different track listing. It was made up of 4 brand new songs, "Dogs Are Talking", "Rhythm Rude Girl", "Let the Night Roll On" (the only 3 songs to also appear on the Australian edition), and "Junk City" (Australian single B-side to "Let the Night Roll On"), and re-recordings of 5 classic Angels songs, "City Out of Control" (Night Attack, 1981), "Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again" (The Angels, 1977), "I Ain't the One" (Face to Face, 1978), "Who Rings The Bell" (The Angels' Greatest, 1980), and "Can't Shake It" (No Exit, 1979).
