* The Pettibone Touch Remix of "The Slightest Touch" was included on the CD compilation Dance Classics vol 19 + 20, released in 2007 by Rodeo Media Records. It is also available on CD on the 2010 Expanded Edition of Silk & Steel (CRPOP74), although there is a slight mastering error at the beginning of this pressing.
In 2005, Five Star planned to release a remixed version of "The Slightest Touch" as a single, but it never got released.
"The Slightest Touch" is one of the few Five Star songs to have been covered by another artist; Louise recorded the track for her compilation album Changing Faces: The Best of Louise album in 2001. This version of the song was based on the album mix and was not released as a single.
