Notes on the 2005 re-issue

The 2005 re-issue of Open Secret includes two extra tracks not included on the original issue of the album.  Little Wolf is a piano piece previously released on Asher's album Single As Love (under the title The King's Wolf) and the vocal version of Open Secret is a new recording from 2005.  In addition the original track of Open Secret has been edited to remove the vocals from it, which accounts for it being 2:20 shorter than on the original release.
