Les Vikings D'Haiti released VOLUME 4BIS in 1973 with an album cover that did not seat too well in the Haitian household. The cover was very contraversial during the 1970s. Sex was talk about in music in a subliminal way, but Les Vikings took it to another level. Here's the album cover that had parents covering their kids eyes, and young man drueling over.

Bold move indeed!
Was the music good at least?

By the way, love that song you made me hear a while back, Les Aiglons: Le central.

Les Vikings was actually well received in the French West indies rather in Haiti. They were so well respected over there they were the first Haitian band to record with DEBS. Les Loups Noirs, Freres Dejean, and Les Vikings were the kings over the FWI.
