iTunes Band Pictures Wrong

Hi,
This isn't exactly a massive issue but it is annoying nonetheless. I have a fairly sizeable music library on iTunes and in the most part it picks up a picture of the band but some either don't get the picture at all or get a seemingly random one. To be clear I'm thinking of the picture that is assigned to the band rather than to the album. I'm generally able to correct album artwork. I have absolutely no idea who the chap is below but, nice guy as I dare say he is, he is not, to the best of my knowledge, involved in the band Belly.


I've googled this and have seen a few answers but none of them worked. I've just tried deleting all of the songs for Belly from my iTunes and adding them by selecting the folder once again. Unfortunately deleting the actual files wouldn't work because I'm not sure where the original CD is.

Has anyone else had this issue and more importantly, was a resolution found?

    I did see that but it seemed unlikely to work so I didn't try it and I have just tried it and it made no difference. It was worth a try though.

    I suppose that there is always the chance that that's a genuine picture related to the band but I saw them a few times back in the 90s and certainly don't remember him.

    Certainly doesn't look like one of them:

    It certainly doesn’t. That’s the picture I saw when I looked on the iTunes webpage too so I’ve no idea where ‘my’ picture comes from.  

    It’s likely to remain a mystery. It’s no big deal but if someone else had a solution it would have been nice to tidy it up.

    It seems so. My back isn't up to gigs nowadays so won't go to see them live again unless it's seated but I'll be interested to hear their new music.

    They were one of those bands I meant to see but never did.  Yes a seated venue sounds preferable here too :)
