'''''Assorted Secrets''''' is a compilation of live and studio rehearsals released by American [[art rock]] group [[the Residents]] in 1984, originally as a cassette-only release due to the recording and performance quality not meeting the group's standards at the time. Not originally meant to be heard by the public, the cassette was eventually produced and released for much-needed profit following the financial difficulties of the Mole Show tour.
