The Puppets

The Puppets- 'A Way Of Life' 1983.
Does anybody know where this group originated from ? I think it was Canada, but I recently read somewehere it was the USA. Then again the above song was a PWL Production indicating they were from the UK.

Could that be right?

I have talked with the bass player in Nervus Rex

I don't think she ever mentioned any connection with the Puppets?

I love that track. I have the 12" and had to get it transferred to MP3 because I haven't found it anywhere on CD...

According to the inside of the Hardest Hits 1 CD:

I didn't feel like digging out the vinyl.
