Logically I think the releasetitle should be "The Very Best of Elvis 
Costello & The Attractions" it is printed clearly on the CD. Perhaps 
there once was a release called "The Best of..." but while looking at 
the previous releaseedits someone called this release "The Best of..." 
without any proof of its existence. Also the link to Wikipedia, Discogs 
and Amazon point to a "The Very Best of Elvis Costello & The Attractions"

So I would change it to "The Very Best of Elvis Costello & The 
Attractions" You have have more proof of this being the right title than 
the other one (and I vote yes for you ofcourse)
