There are so many threads in this forum that deal with the display of covers in players where it apparently is the wrong one.  
I found these with the search words "player wrong cover"

> Hi there, First of all GREAT THANKS for this excellent and must-have free software! Here is my problem description: I put several songs in a folder, and used MP3Tag to set a different front-cover for each song. Now when I play these songs with VLC, some of them dispay a wrong cover! But when I play them with WMPlayer, all covers display allright! So my question is: how to correct the wrong displaying of some covers with VLC player please? Thanks in advance for any help! Versions: Mp3Tag …

> I am completely new to this so apologies. Using J River as a player I noticed a lot of my library songs had the wrong cover art, all the same in fact. I used mp3tag and this corrected a few but not all. How can I eliminate all of the incorrect art. Thanks in advance

> I have tried removing album covers individually and by selecting more than one file. Even though mp3tag (v3.04a) reports that the album cover has been removed and displays no cover, I find that VLC media player (64 bit, v3.0.11) still finds and will display "deleted" album covers. I also sometimes want to change album covers but, mp3tag will not change my mp3 file to the new album cover. In this case, even if I try removing the old cover first, the new one is not displayed.

Could you search for some more if they don't help?  
And hoenstly: it is a player problem as the only program that shows what you expect is MP3tag. And Mp3tag will help you to get the data right.  
E.g. you could filter for files that have a cover with  
%\_covers% PRESENT  
and then see if any files pop up where you did not expect a cover.  
Also, it may help if you showed us the extended tags dialogue of a single file that is displayed with the incorrect cover.
