Autumn:  The Autumn 1991 cover was particularly fun because of the contents of that issue.

We blew the lid off of the Simplex lock company by revealing how insecure their push button locks actually were.  A Simplex lock appears on the cover labeled "DREAD," a fun allusion to dreadlocks.

The door leads out of a prison cell and has the word "EXODUS" written on it.  There is writing on the door that shows attempts to break into a UNIX system with the username of dquayle among others.

Dan Quayle was vice president at the time and this was the exact username that Dutch hackers created in order to gain access to some military computers while 2600 people were visiting them and filming the attempts.

Inside the jail cell is a computer running something called "GENESIS" and a single flower in a vase.

The biblical references were inspired by an old Maytals ska song called Six And Seven Books of Moses.  More ska references appeared with the words Lawless Street, the title of a Skatalites instrumental, and the "signature" at the bottom of the cover of "Sir Lord Comic," who was a Jamaican DJ from West Kingston where Jamaican ska was born in the 1960s.

The minicover features our first ever use of a barcode on the front cover.  However, it wasn't ours - it even is labeled "NOT OURS."

We really just wanted to see what happened if we put it there.  For those interested, the barcode actually belonged to a box of Pop-Tarts we had lying around.
