Hi billmk,
When version of MacOS Catalina are you running?
According to the release notes of MacOS Catalina 10.15.2, Apple addressed the album artwork issue for Music. See below:
– Restores the column browser view for managing the music library
– Resolves an issue that may prevent album artwork from appearing
– Fixes an issue that may reset music equalizer settings during playback
If you haven't updated to 10.15.2 I would recommend it as it might address your issue. After I upgraded and launched music it immediately started redownloading album artwork. Before the update, some albums had artwork and others didn't.
I hope this helps.

When I play a song from an album that lost the artwork I see a thumbnail at the top of the window where the song progress is displayed.If I select show in finder in the get info pull down I see tracks with art work.
Its a known feature change

Update was done before I posted.The funny thing is all the art work before 2018 is fine.
Interesting, have you tried right clicking a blank album and coming down to get album artwork? Maybe it just needs to be downloaded again for those missing albums.
I hope this helps.
I cannot see that in the pull down when I right click.Funny thing is I loaded about six albums the day before I upgraded and the artwork was there.
Yes new music will pick it up immediately, and others often pick it up when played. It was discussed on the links I posted
