In a short period of time, the Cramps changed drummers twice; Miriam Linna (later of Nervus Rex , the Zantees, and the A-Bones and co-owner of Norton Records ) replaced Pam Balam, and Nick Knox (formerly with the Electric Eels ) replaced Linna in September 1977. In the late 1970s, the Cramps briefly shared a rehearsal space with the Fleshtones , and performed regularly in New York at clubs such as CBGB and Max’s Kansas City , releasing two independent singles produced by Alex Chilton at Ardent Studios in Memphis in 1977 before being signed by Miles Copeland III to the young I.R.S. Records label. Their first tour of Great Britain was as supporting act to the Police on that band’s first UK tour promoting Outlandos d’Amour .
