Empire of the Sun – Walking On A Dream (Expanded Edition) (RSD 2026 2LP Colour Vinyl)

Walking On A Dream is Empire of the Sun’s 2008 debut, a defining Australian electronic release that continues to hold global recognition. This Record Store Day 2026 expanded edition revisits the album with a broader view of the era, pairing the original tracklist with additional material drawn from the same period.

This 2LP set includes six extra tracks from the Walking On A Dream era, five of which are appearing on vinyl for the first time. The album is spread across two records to accommodate the expanded runtime, maintaining clarity across sides while preserving the original sequencing.

Pressed as a limited RSD exclusive, this edition features a colour-in-colour “sunrise” effect using opaque red and transparent yellow vinyl, along with an obi strip. It’s a clearly defined collector’s variant, built around both the original album and its extended catalogue moment.
