For me it looks like you got the wrong information in the json but i don’t know why.
your .json error: ‘front’: False
the original json has : ‘front’: true
json: https://ia903104.us.archive.org/30/items/mbid-5d381075-8825-46b4-a9e8-2981ef705740/index.json
I would just try again with Picard.

ive tried several times. changed cover art settings as well but to no avail. is there any local cache that could be screwing it up?

There’s a network query cache, you can display its path using debug mode and checking log for “NetworkDiskCache dir”. Once you have the path, stop Picard, delete the directory, and restart Picard.

For me it gives:

D: 14:57:42,846 webservice._init_cache:400: NetworkDiskCache dir: '/home/zas/.cache/MusicBrainz/Picard/network/'
