1. 2000 AND BEYOND - FOUR JACKS AND A JILL 4 Silhouettes and a Cartoon more like. Come on guys is this the best you can do for a comeback album? At least your "Best of..." albums had colour.
	2. THE 3 BOO?DISTS - BOO! From Monki Punk to Poodle Pop. How the mighty have fallen. At least they had the decency to change the ! after their name to a ?. A cover like this does not deserve a !.
COMMENT	3. FACE TO FACE - FACE TO FACE In the 80's airbrush posters of vaguely sexual images in unnatural colours were quite popular. That does not mean you can just stick your band name at the top of your favourite poster and slap it on the front of your album.
	4. LANG VERLANG KONTREI - CORA MARIE Not so much a dig at Cora as a primal scream against the endless stream of inane egotistical singers who think we like nothing better than gawking at your mugs plastered over record covers, grinning cheesily. The Bles Bridges, Ken Mullens & Carike Keuzenkamps of this world, you know who you are. The burning question though, is how the hell did this one make it into my collection?
	5. TOMORROW - THE ROCKETS I bet Neil Armstrong is glad he wasn't on this Rocket.
COMMENT	6. ALIVE - BALLYHOO Ask not for whom the bells toll...Ballyhoo's last offering. Some streamers, confetti, balloons and a guy picking his nose (top left...okay not really, but it does look a bit like it). And was the hairy chest really necessary.
	7. ROCK RABBITT - RABBITT I think that the answer to the question "And what should we put on the cover now that Trev's gone?" is printed on Ronnie's T-Shirt.
	8. JOHN IRELAND - JOHN IRELAND It's a shell for goodness sakes!!! Shells are for New Age album covers. Besides which, New Age hadn't been invented in the 80's.
	9. THE BATS - THE BEST OF... Taken during the great barber shortage of the 70's, blown up versions of this cover shot are still used in place of scarecrows in some part of the Orange Free State.
	10. DREAM ON - THE DREAM MERCHANTS It's Bobby Louw's hairy legs that condemn this cover. James Blonde on the left does look suave though.
