Vinyl plays with occasional crackles (play-graded). Cover looks good; a few creases near edges; moderate scuffing and surface impressions (front/back); tiny surface abrasions on front; slight discoloration with darker discoloration spots on back. Inner-sleeve is original (London ads); tear near top. Spine is easy-to-read (text is crooked) with some wear. Minor shelf-wear along bottom-edge; heavier wear along top-edge and corners. Opening is crisp with signs of light use and divots. (Not a cut-out.)
Songwriter and producer Tony Hiller formed The Brotherhood of Man in 1969 from a selection of session-singers and songwriters. Originally a five-member group (although they became a quartet soon after), they began recording and writing together with the resultant first single Love One Another being released late in the year. The single failed to chart anywhere, but early in 1970, the second single United We Stand became a major hit worldwide. Encouraged by this, the group, with Hiller as producer, began putting together an album. Along with a third single, the hit Where are You Going to My Love, United We Stand was released. The style of songs on this album was very much of its time, with an overall optimistic slant to the lyrics and sound – later reviewers commenting on its "hippy vibe".
