From the Album Nobody Else (1988)
Budding teenage director Paul Middleditch made waves with his stylish video for Tex Pistol's chart-topping electro-pop remake of 60s track 'The Game of Love'. Tex Pistol — aka ex Th'Dudes member Ian Morris — wears black and white, with silver-tipped cowboy boots and a red semi-acoustic guitar. Suiting the less is more approach of the remake, the video features Morris and backing vocalist Callie Blood on a rain lashed street. Morris drags on his ciggie, strides into shot John Travolta style and delivers his pop sermon, Blood dances in the rain. 'The Game of Love' hit number one for a week; copies of the single ran out early on.
