Quincy Conserve decided to break up before the release of group’s most consistent album "Epitaph" (1971), which featured Hayman, Mason, Orams, Rehu and McCormick from Mk1 with the addition of drummer Richard Burgess (who would later, improbably, move to England and work with New Romantic groups Visage and Spandau Ballet) and trumpeter Barry Browne-Sharpe. Sadly, the album’s hugely enjoyable blend of jazzy funk (and brilliant tracks like ‘Aire Of Good Feeling’ and ‘Alright In The City’)

Hayman quickly changed his mind on the band’s demise, and reformed the group in 1972, and in 1973 the rock oriented Tasteful album was released. An attempt to capture the group live in the studio. "Tasteful" is a very smart clean album with the bonus 7".
