We're the Brotherhood of Man is the second album by British pop group The Brotherhood of Man in their early incarnation on Deram Records.^[1]

The album was released in April 1972, two years after their first album, and it included the singles "Reach Out Your Hand" and "You and I". Although "Reach Out Your Hand" was a top 100 hit in the US, none of the group's singles around this time had charted in the UK.^[2] This album similarly failed, and the group disbanded after being dropped by their record label.^[3]

Manager Tony Hiller recruited a new line-up over the next few months, which was to become the more famous, Eurovision-winning formation, although one more album (a compilation) featuring the early line-up was released after this, in 1973.
