[mb-users] ASIN and CoverArt

I somehow remember, that MB uses the first added ASIN for the coverart, 
but it seems like this changed.
I added ASINs for the Vinyl version of
http://musicbrainz.org/release/75e1a193-6e30-4a59-9e17-1b3255d2fefb.html
and MB is not able to get a coverart anymore. Having two old ASINs with 
Coverart and the last added one with no coverart.

If somebody can confirm this change, then it looks like we can't add any 
ASINs without coverart anymore, if we already have coverart ones.
It is also possible though, that I just didn't realize that change 
before, because the other ASINs I added had coverart.
Finally it would be best to have a way of choosing the coverart, but 
this is a known request.

Yes, you can argue about adding these anyways, but I personally think 
that these links are information sometimes even without coverart, like 
when you can still buy the Vinyl version.
