Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Arguably the last truly great album from the Byrds, this was a double vinyl set on its original release in 1970 and, as was the vogue, the 16 minute "Eight Miles High" took up an entire side--allowing for plenty of free-flowing guitar, bass and drum solos. One album was live, opening with a gritty "Lover Of The Bayou" and an inspired take on Bob Dylan's "Positively 4th Street". The second studio album contained the Byrds' biggest latter-day hit, "Chestnut Mare", as well as Roger McGuinn's haunting "Just A Season". Here, Untitled is supplemented byUnissued: a whole bonus disc of rare and unreleased material. There are storming concert versions of Dylan's "You Ain't Going Nowhere", "My Back Pages" and "This Wheel's On Fire", and studio highlights include "Lover Of The Bayou" and an undubbed "Kathleen's Song". Complete with detailed sleeve notes, recording details and bonus tracks, Untitled/Unissued is a perfect illustration of how to repackage archive recordings. --Patrick Humphries

Almost called "Phoenix", this is the album where the Byrds rose from the ashes, and effortlessly soared once again. By 1970, the Byrds were a hard gigging band, popular on the US college circuit. Sensibly the first side of (Untitled) as issued on double vinyl album format, featured eight blistering live tracks, now doubled to sixteen on the re-issued (Untitled)/(Unissued) CD. As a lover of the origional album, I was amazed and delighted to hear the previously unissued material making up the second "bonus" CD. Great versions of "Willin'",and "You ain't goin'nowhere" join with classics like "Chestnut Mare" and "Mr Tambourine Man". The last great Byrds album now sounds better than ever.

I have the original double vinyl version of Untitled which I probably bought the day after seeing the band plugging the album live at Birmingham Town Hall many years ago. It's one of the few concerts from the seventies which I remember for its electricity. The studio material (from the original recording) is less impressive though Chestnut Mare is very good. I have not heard the new unissued material.
The live songs are absolutely thrilling but I have to disagree with one of the other reviewers who failed to be impressed by the 16 minutes of Eight Miles High. For me it is the best track of all. I heard the Byrds play this version live as an encore. The bass and drumming drive the song onward relentlessly while the lead guitar swirls around over the top. Many among the audience, including me, really had no idea what song it was until about 12 minutes in when the pace slowed, the tune changed momentarily, Roger McGuinn sang a few of the words and then the pace picked up again and the tune resumed to a climatic ending. An incredible live performance captured and replicated well on the album.

This is some double CD.
The original Untitled tracks 1 - 7 are live and 8 - 16 are studio recordings.
I enjoy all the live work, except Eight Miles High, a great song, but at 16 minutes long, on this occasion it fails to impress.
Chestnut Mare is well known, but look out for Yesterdays Train and Just A Season, the're sublime.
I only recently discovered the hidden Amazing Grace, it does'nt get much better than that.
The second disc Unissued is 14 songs which include alternate versions, studio and live recordings.
The less well known tracks are Kathleen's Song, White Lightning Pt 2 and Willin.
Like so much of The Byrds, this is another essential collection.

I had long assumed that The Byrds had used up all their ammo once Clark, Crosby and then Hillman had left. This 1970 set proves otherwise. Read more

Just wonderful, and now even more so.
This was always a very good album indeed, and the remastered re-issue with the extra CD at a bargain price makes it a truly great one. Read more

Some sublime, some not so...
Listen to All The Things and Yesterdays Train - excellent. Balance with the not so good perennial fillers, Rock N Roll Star, Mr Spaceman. Read more
