they soon signed a contract with track records. their debut—and only—studio album, " l.a.m.f.", had all the heartbreakers' popular live songs. making and selling this album caused problems for the band. some band members were angry about the poor quality of the sound. several members of the band left at this point. the heartbreakers reformed in 1979 for a few goodbye shows at max's kansas city with drummer ty stix replacing nolan. these shows were recorded and became the album "live at max's kansas city '79". the heartbreakers' song, "london boys", insulted the sex pistols. this was to answer the sex pistols' song "new york", that insulted the new york dolls.
