Sia’s 2024 Record Store Day edition of Colour The Small One is a 2LP vinyl reissue celebrating the 20th anniversary of her 2004 third studio album. The original record is often described as a perfect blend of intimate, close‑miked vocals and mellow, folk‑tinged electronica, and this anniversary pressing is positioned as a deluxe, expanded way to revisit that era. Housed across two discs, it presents the core album on LP1—featuring “Rewrite,” “Sunday,” “Breathe Me,” “Sweet Potato,” “Don’t Bring Me Down,” “Numb,” “Where I Belong,” and more—with upgraded presentation aimed squarely at collectors.For Record Store Day 2024, the album is expanded to 22 tracks, adding “The Bully” (co‑written with Beck), rare B‑sides like “Broken Biscuit,” “Lucky,” “So Bored,” and “Sea Shells,” plus a full suite of remixes on LP2, including Hot Chip’s “Where I Belong,” Tom Middleton’s “Numb (Cosmos Mix),” and multiple reworks of “Breathe Me” by Four Tet, Mr Dan, Ulrich Schnauss, and Mylo. This material underlines the album’s dual identity as fragile singer‑songwriter music and fertile source material for downtempo and left‑field dance producers. Framed by labels and retailers as a definitive vinyl version of Colour The Small One, the RSD edition both honours the album’s legacy (especially the enduring popularity of “Breathe Me,” boosted by its use in Six Feet Under’s finale) and opens it up for re‑discovery by a new generation of listeners digging through the bins.
