Background
"Sorry"/"That's the Trouble" was Jones' second single, released before her international breakthrough, on the Orfeus label in France and Beam Junction in the US. Both songs later appeared on Jones' debut album Portfolio; 7" version of "Sorry" and an alternate mix of "That's the Trouble" were placed there. Both the original single version and the instrumental of "That's the Trouble" remain unreleased on CD. The extended 12" mixes of both tracks were released on Grace's box set Disco.
Grace Jones explained in her 2015 memoir that "Sorry" and "That's the Trouble" were issued as a double A-side because she didn't want either song "to be a mere B-side", which were often seen as "throwaway" tracks.[1]
