Artist on labels & spine is "The Costello Show (Featuring Elvis Costello)", but inner sleeve notes "The Costello Show Featuring The Attractions And Confederates".

As the original issue FC 40173 was being transitioned to the budget-priced reissue PC 40173, there are some transitional issues using the first issue cover/labels/inners with a sticker on the spine showing the new PC 40173 catalog number covering up the old one. As the sticker is applied to the original FC version, these should be considered FC issues.
