Do you have NFO files for those albums, or "Prefer Online Information" setting enabled?
EDIT
Yes, you have an ablum.nfo
For once the story is not in the music file tags, but in the scraping. Scraping this NFO file has set album.strArtists to "Elvis Costello / Brodsky Quartet", and it is that field that is sorted and displayed (even though the underlying data still has the correct album artist relationship). I would delete this NFO, or edit it to have the album artist credits that match that in the tags
The fact that Kodi sorting of albums by artist name and year puts name with space "Elvis Costello " before "Elvis Costello" (no space) is a little odd. In comparison sorting artist by name does not. I will investigate that now
