Notes on the re-issues
The 2005 re-issue of Open Secret included 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.
For the 2009 Voiceprint re-issue three songs (The Power of Love, Song of the Morning and Shine Brightly) that were recorded during the original sessions for the album have also been added as extra tracks. All three were newly mixed from the original multi-track masters from Ant's archive.
