Devastated. The Dan were my favourite band. A rare talent.  Thanks for many hours of pleasure.

Rikki don't lose that number
You don't wanna call nobody else
Send it off in a letter to yourself!

RIP Walter, your talent remains on record.

I particularly love Pretzel Logic

Oh, oh - no hesitation
No tears and no hearts breakin'
No remorse...

[Forever Fulham]

Agree. They were great.  They shied away from public performances.  Preferred the recording studio. Seemed more like jazz artists than anything else.

A true talent gone, grew up listening to their music over the decades and saw them live a few years ago, Walter sang lead on Haitian Divorce, probably not one of his greatest moments!

They were influenced by the Jazz scene,their heroes when at college were all jazz musicians.

'Can't buy a thrill' must be one of the most solid "debut" albums ever
