The original Arthur Lyman album Taboo vol.2 cover featured 2 shrunken heads. It became so controversial, that it was pulled from store shelves and replaced with a more vanilla image of an erupting volcano. Here's a pic of that cover: The jacket notes for the album had this to say about the cover: "Cover curiosity will prompt the question, 'What are they?' The two on the cover are unidentified shrunken heads, authentic but synonomous with the meaning of 'Taboo' which is forbidden or beware. Both heads are actual size and were photographed in another exotic land, Brazil. This cover is different." :tiki:
