Notes

The album was credited to "Various" (label) and "Various Artists" (spine) rather than to Elvis Costello because the tracks were recorded and credited under a variety of names, including The Costello Show, Elvis Costello and the Attractions, Elvis Costello and the Confederates, The Coward Brothers, Napoleon Dynamite, The Emotional Toothpaste and The MacManus Gang, and with a variety of collaborators. Most copies have a hype sticker on the front cover reading:

COSTELLO
X-FIEND 67

℗ 1987 Demon Records Ltd.

Track A2 is the theme music from Granada TV series 'Scully'.

      This release and 1026862 look VERY similar - I can't see any difference. Stand to be corrected, but this feels like a "merge" to me ...
