Sometimes everyone is right. I don't know how I feel about that.
But in a desperate attempt to be righter, I would note that in the Wikipedia entry for Anna McGarrigle, who wrote the song, it is referred to without the "is" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_McGarrigle). In any event, I hold some lackey in the A/R or printing department responsible for this kerfuffle.
Regards.

Yes, but please note it's not just about CDs and if you look at the link below you'll notice something stranger: even the 1974 Capitol vinyl pressing reported this incongruity.
https://www.45worlds.com/vinyl/album/st11358
If you notice, on the label with "is" it shows the number 511358 while the label without " is" reports the number 11358.
In addition to the possibilities you two described, it could also be that there was a change of heart: perhaps Linda at first wanted to create a difference between the title of the song and the title of the album, but then she changed (or they made her change) her mind.
I also found a PDF from the "National Recording Preservation Board" (!) that shows the label with "is" (you have to enlarge the PDF a lot to be able to see it).

You have not heard Linda Ronstadt until you have heard her in Spanish!
