Came across this one today. I think it's a pretty good cover but it seems like it still should be here. I think the cig is the cool detail and considering Porter was known for his glam style, a good twist. I'd figure it was Porter's take on Hank Sr.'s Luke the Drifter records.

Always happy to see that classic, though I think Porter’s album covers might be a whole other thread. This particular LP doesn’t have much to do with the preachifying Luke the Drifter iirc, though it’s a while since I’ve listened to either.

The Cluster of Nuts Band - Fridge In The Fast Lane
― faust apes (NickB), Friday, 22 December 2017 17:04 (six years ago) link
Looks like CONB drew quite a bit of big league press attention with this release:
Produced in 1983, the Cluster of Nuts LP "Fridge in the fast lane" was released at the height of the 'new wave' of English Country dance music. The 'Nuts' were one of the batch of exciting new bands that had finally thrown off the shackles of "Steeleye" and "Fairport" to produce an exciting new sound."... folk music bubbling with ideas and enthusiasm ..." - Southern Rag" Worth a spin on anyone's deck" - Hartlepool Mail

actually i didn't even notice that was a horse; i thought it was somebody spreadeagled on the floor

It was Poco's logo so it might still have nothing to do with horseriding. But Richie Furay was born again so I can't see him participating in anything untoward.
― Whiney Houston (Tom D.), Friday, 5 January 2018 12:40 (six years ago) link
Richie was out of the band by the time they adopted the horse logo though (although occasionally rejoining)
― Bowling for Bitcoins (Lee626), Friday, 5 January 2018 12:46 (six years ago) link
the horse logo was designed by Phil Hartman incidentally - his brother was Poco's manager
