This left Camp to play most of the guitar on their next album, Ashes are Burning, released in 1973. Hendry was replaced for the Prologue tour by Peter Finberg, but Finberg was already committed to another band and so could not be a permanent replacement. The resulting line-up entered the studio having played only a dozen gigs together. Parsons died in a car accident and was replaced at short notice by Rob Hendry. In 1972, shortly before recording sessions for the new band's debut LP, drummer Terence Sullivan joined after Slade's initial replacement, Ginger Dixon, was deemed unsuitable following a European tour. It was also decided that Dunford would now concentrate on composing, and a new guitar player, Mick Parsons, was brought in for live work. Crowe and Korner went, the former unreplaced, the latter replaced by a succession of bass players, including John Wetton (later of King Crimson, UK, and Asia), Frank Farrell (later in Supertramp) and Danny McCulloch (formerly of The Animals and a former bandmate of Dunford and Crowe in The Plebs), until the position settled with the inclusion of Jon Camp. Until then Haslam had shared vocals with Terry Crowe, who was in effect the band's chief vocalist. Will Romano in Mountains come out of the sky explained that 'unlike many of the artists to which they were compared Renaissance allowed the piano and female voice to come to the forefront'. Sometime in 1971, new manager Miles Copeland III decided to re-organize the band, focusing on what he felt was Renaissance's strong points – Haslam's voice and Tout's piano. Dunford soon emerged as a prolific composer, and continued the writing partnership with Thatcher, who would go on to write most of the lyrics for the band's 1970s albums. While McCarty would go on to write songs for the new band, Relf's involvement would be short-lived. Both were present when singer Annie Haslam successfully auditioned in January 1971 to replace the departing Cullom (who would later marry drummer Terry Slade and retire from the music scene). The plan at the time was that Relf and McCarty would remain involved as non-performing members – Relf as a producer and McCarty as a songwriter. There is an extant video (released on the DVD 'Kings & Queens' in 2010) of that line-up performing five songs on a German TV program (Muzik-Kanal). A music video was also produced for the first single.The two remaining original members left in late 1970 Jane Relf was replaced by American folk singer Anne-Marie 'Binky' Cullom, then John Hawken left to join Spooky Tooth and pianist John Tout replaced him. Two singles were released from this album: 'We Don't Need Another Hero' (Tina Turner cover, from the soundtrack of Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome) and 'Hello' (Lionel Richie cover).
