iTunes album art multiple covers

In itunes I have some albums that have an album cover per song
for one album. For instance, changes by David Bowie, each track
has its own album cover which displays in cover flow.

How can I change this album to only have one album cover for changes
in cover flow?

Thanks,
John

Don't touch the Artist field — select the entire album, Get Info (command-I), and enter the primary artist's name in the Album Artist field. This tells iTunes the album is a single artist's work, but that other artists feature on individual tracks. If you then sort on the Album column (including "Album by Artist" and "Album by Year"), the album will have a single cover art associated with it.

I think I figured it out...

If there are multiple album covers for one album, try clicking on albums in the view option instead of artist. I believe it will make one album cover in the cover flow viewer.
As far as my David Bowie album, I clicked (get info) and made it a compilation, which fixed the problem.
