After the recent death of Calvin Hayes, a member of Johnny hates Jazz, it's appropriate to post one of their singles. The Eighties were kind for this band, but the Nineties... not so much. Lead singer Clark Datchler had left the band and the two other members, Hayes and Mike Nocito, went on with their friend Phil Thornally. However, Thornalley and Calvin Hayes were involved in a car accident in
1991 just before the album's release, which left Hayes seriously
injured. He spent nearly two years in the hospital, inclduing one year in a full body cast, and required longterm rehabilitation treatment. The album
Tall Stories, which coincided with the car accident, was commercially unsuccessful and attracted little attention.
'Let me change your mind tonight' was equally unsuccessful, stalling at no. 101 in the UK singles chart. Still, this single is worth checking out, especially since the instrumental B-side is really catchy!
My collection: 7" single no. 8391
Found: Variaworld, Utrecht, 12 August 2026
Tracks: 'Let me change your mind tonight' / 'Breaking point'
