Bulletin Board is the eighth and final studio album by The Partridge Family, released by Bell Records (catalog number 1137) in October 1973. The album was recorded between July and September 1973. Bulletin Board was the first Partridge Family album to fail to chart on Billboard's Top LP's chart. "Looking for a Good Time" b/w "Money Money" was released as a single in November 1973 (catalog number Bell 45-414), but failed to chart. This was the last regular U.S. Partridge Family single.
The album cover featured a handwritten track listing pinned to a bulletin board, as well as a "family" photograph and a memo detailing the show's new Saturday night time slot. According to the liner notes for the CD release, the album cover was created within only a few hours due to time constraints. While Wes Farrell is credited as producer on the album, in fact it was produced and arranged by John Bahler (also spelled as Bähler), a member of late-1960 pop group the Love Generation and, later, the Ron Hicklin Singers, several members of whom provided backing vocals on all of the Partridge Family albums. Bulletin Board is the only Partridge Family album recorded in a studio different from the preceding albums (which had all been recorded at Western Recorders, Studio 2 in Los Angeles).
Reviewer Dave Thompson of AllMusic gave the album a rating of 3½ stars out of 5, claiming it was more representative of David Cassidy's solo material than the typical Partridge Family album: "the performances all lean a lot closer towards the Cassidy solo ideal – soft ballads, tight rockers – than the all-for-one harmonies and joy that characterized the Partridges' earlier releases." Howard Pattow, a member of the Partridge Family tribute band Sound Magazine, states that "the music here is groovy and funky, a definite reflection of pop music's embrace of disco ... overall, the music on Bulletin Board is quite different from previous Partridge Family efforts ... [and] features musicians that had previously not appeared on a Partridge record."
In September 2008 Collectors' Choice Music reissued the album on CD. Initially the disc was available exclusively through the company's website. The disc contains two bonus tracks: both sides of the Bones Howe-produced Shirley Jones single "Ain't Love Easy"/"Roses in the Snow", originally released in October 1972.
