amazon should be used in two ways, with two separate procedures.
1: it should be used to link to as a reference for the exact release.
2: it should be used for cover art, which should not require the exact release, if the art is the same.
so, we should NOT require the "has amazon ASIN" approach to be used for people wanting to add cover art from amazon. because many CDs are OUT-OF-PRINT, and there simply is not exact amazon (nor anywhere else) listing anymore.
