iTunes - various artists, album artists sorting

I'm trying to find a way to correctly display artists in the 'Artists' listing when the source is a compilation album.

Take for example, Jules Holland's 'More Friends' album which has various artists including Jules Holland. I've got it checked as a compilation so that in album view it displays all songs together under one album—tick! :)

This caused it to be originally filed under 'various artists', so I've collectively edited the entries to put Jules Holland as the Album Artist, now it appears in the album listing under Jules—tick! :)

But when I want to see what tracks I have by Robert Plant (in the Artists view), there's nothing for this album, everything is under Jules. :eek:

So the Artists view can never actually be trusted?

It seems the only way to accurately display 'songs by artist' is by going into the Songs view, sorting by Artist, and scrolling through. Or... by using the search library facility. Not exactly state-of-the-art!

Is there any way where I can have the tracks by artist showing correctly without messing up the tracks by album?
