Out Of Our Idiot - Very Good Plus (VG+) / Very Good Plus (VG+)

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:
