Black Forum Album Discography

The Black Forum label was a Motown spoken word label. It was active from 1970 to 1973. It sought to capture the voices of Black Americans, past and current, during the turbulent early 1970s.

		The Black Forum album label (far left) was blue on the left side and green on the right side. The printing on the label is black. There are two white circles fanning out to the top and bottom of the label from the center hole. At the top of the label is "BLACK FORUM", below this is a "bf" in a box, "b" is blue and "f" is green with "BLACK FORUM" below it. Promotional labels (near left) were white with the same graphics as the regular label without the blue and green.
		Black Forum put out one single. The label was similar to the album label, and promotional copies (near left) had a white label with black print.
