Multiple album covers for same albums

When I download artwork or import a cd, why is it that i get multiple album artwork covers for the same album. It doesn't happen on all albums, just a select few. How can I correct the problem without getting rid of all of my album artwork. And I also get the wrong covers for a few albums in my library. For instance, I get a ZZ Top album cover for a country album.

I've had this problem happen a few times, here's what i did, go in your music folder where itunes stores that specific album, copies the whole album one a external disk erase the original from the itunes folder,make sure you empty you trash, start itunes and try to play one of the song, itunes will tell you it can't find the song press cancel then erase all the songs you have in your itune library of the same album and then re-copie
the album from your external drive to itune library and everything should be ok hope this helps
(it's important that the information in the album info is the same for all the included songs, same album name same artist,etc.)

Have you found a solutions that works for iTunes problem? I am having the same issue and the one possible response in this forum does not work and it is far to cumbersome for the hundreds of albums I have to correct. I'm looking for a short and simple resolution if that exist.

Did you ever get an answer to this? I have just purchased an album of Itunes store and for the first time I now have 43 album covers even though it set as a compilation tried delete and reimport but that does not seem to be working 😟

Any help would be very welcome... very frustrating never had this issue when I import CD normally maybe should not use itunes store!!!!
