For the longest time i thought that the original Vinyl version of Portfolio had 5 tracks, and that they added "sorry and "that's the trouble" to the cd release.
However when surfing the web i saw a Portfolio Vinyl with those songs included, so i checked my copy again and noticed i have a italian printing. (ILPS 19470) and even saw it online, but not the WHY.
So does anyone know how many tracks portfolio had on first release, and is that pressing just an anomally replacing aformentioned tracks with the long version of "I need a man" 07.30 instead of the more common 03.22 version that is on the cd version and apparently also on Vinyl's other than this pressing.

surfed till my fingers were blue but nothing anyone here has some insight on this ?

I got the German vinyl release ID nbr STEREO 25 579 XOT, printed in Western Germany, published 1977 by Ariola, and it has all the 7 tracks. Sorry and That's The Trouble included, but I Need A Man only in the 3.22 version... so the original German release has 7 tracks...I even did not know there are realeases with only 5 tracks:)) It has a double cover but contains only one vinyl. Front page shows Grace's face, blue background, middle left face with leopard pattern, middle right I would call it the Latino style, her face with roses:)), and back side..well Grace showing her tongue to everyone, red background.
So far for the German version:))

Thanx for clearing that up Chefred_Jones :)
