itunes not reading tags correctly

Hi - recently I've had a very annoying problem with Itunes. With just a couple albums (I've counted 2 so far, out of maybe 500 or so on my computer) it lists the artist as "various" for each track. Both of these are soundtrack albums. Before you say that I need to have the correct artist in the tag - it's already in there. I use a program called Tag&Rename and I checked and both the ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags have the correct artist name. I've tried removing the albums from itunes and readding them - but it doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions?

Every track.

Just finally figured out what was going on though - there's an extra ID3 field called "orchestra or band" which sometimes was being written as various. Not quite sure why it was doing that - but once I removed that part of the tag itunes was able to read the id3 tags properly.
