See Duplicate songs in iTunes - Apple Community. The Show Duplicate Items feature, with the Same Album option is useful, but doesn't make it clear that all copies of the repeated tracks are shown, and if you delete them all you'll have no original copy to play going forward. You need to be selective in what you delete.
