2019 Remastered & Expanded Edition of the classic 1973 album from the band formed in 1969 by former YARDBIRDS members Jim McCarty and Keith Relf!

By 1971 RENAISSANCE had undergone a series of line-up changes and had evolved into a completely different band from the one that had recorded the albums: ‘Renaissance’ and ‘Illusion’.

By June 1972 RENAISSANCE had signed to EMI’s Sovereign label and had settled into a line-up fronted by the highly gifted vocalist: Annie Haslam, with John Tout (keyboards / vocals), Jon Camp (bass / vocals), Terry Sullivan (drums / percussion) and Rob Hendry (guitar / mandolin / vocals).
That line-up recorded the ‘Prologue’ album featuring material written by Michael Dunford (a member of the group who had decided to eschew performing with the band to concentrate on song-writing) and lyricist Betty Thatcher.

By April 1973 Rob Hendry had departed the band and Michael Dunford rejoined on acoustic guitar in a guest capacity to record 'Ashes Are Burning', the album that would break RENAISSANCE to a wider audience, particularly in the USA.. Featuring such classic material as: ‘Can You Understand’, ‘Carpet Of The Sun’, ‘At The Harbour’ and the epic title track that featuring guest: Andy Powell (WISHBONE ASH) on electric guitar.

Released in October 1973, ‘Ashes Are Burning’ would establish RENAISSANCE as one of the finest Symphonic Progressive rock acts.
This edition has been REMASTERED from the Original Sovereign Records Master Tapes and adds a recently discovered Previously Unreleased 30-Minute Live Performance from the band’s archives that was made for BBC Radio One’s ‘In Concert’ programme in 1974.

The Booklet for 'Ashes Are Burning' fully restores the Original Album Artwork and features a New Essay and Exclusive Interviews with Annie Haslam and Terry Sullivan.

‘Ashes Are Burning’ was released on 22nd February 2019.
