B For Brotherhood is the fifth album released by pop group Brotherhood of Man. The album was released on Pye Records in April 1978 and featured the singles " Figaro" and "Beautiful Lover". The album was TV advertised and reached No.18 in the UK Charts. [1]

The front cover of the album does not feature the group's name, although the back cover gives the title as: "B for Brotherhood of Man". Track "Greatest Love" is referred to on the label as "The Greatest Love I've Ever Known".

The album cover depicts the group in an autumn forest and many reviews at the time made mention of the sophisticated look of the album. On closer inspection however, it is clear that the forest is merely a blow-up photograph.
