Editorial Review:
Arguably the last truly great album from the Byrds, this was a double vinyl set when it appeared in 1970. The 16-minute "Eight Miles High" took up an entire side--allowing for plenty of the free-flowing guitar, bass, and drum solos that were in vogue at the time. The live portion of the program opens with a gritty "Lover of the Bayou" and an inspired take on Bob Dylan's "Positively 4th Street." The studio set centers around the group's biggest latter-day hit, "Chestnut Mare," as well as Roger McGuinn's haunting "Just a Season." Here, Untitled is supplemented by Unissued, 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." 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 perfectly illustrates how archive recordings should be packaged. --Patrick Humphries

- It doesn't get any better than this!
The Byrds "Untitled" has been, is now , and will always be in my top 5 favorite albums of all time. It holds up, sounds as fresh today as it did nearly 40 years ago. Quality music. Can't go wrong with this one.

- If You Need A Review To Buy This Record, You Won't Like This Record
This album needs a review like Huckleberry Finn needs a re-write.

It's like a joke that has to be explained; -if you don't get it on your own, you never truly will.

- Great Byrds Period
This was the period when I saw the Byrds most often. The concert material sounds great, and I do wish Clarence White got the props he still deserves. The studio material was the great bonus here. Who would have thought that so much great material was left unreleased for so long. Simply the Byrds at a great period in their history.

- My Favorite Byrds albulm
First of all, I have all of the Byrds albulms and this is my favorite. The live albulm is decent but nothing too spectacular apart from "Lover of the Bayou" and "Positively 4th Street". The studio part is the real deal. Here we have my favorite Byrd's lineup with Clarence White on guitar and some lovely original Roger McGuinn compositions that were missing on the previous 2 albulms. This reissue is now doubled in length with extensive alternate takes and extra live tracks as if the original LP ... Read More

- oodles of kudos
As I have already written a full review of the first disc in this two CD set (the first disc encompassing the original double vinyl album released as 'Untitled' in 1970), this review will primarily be devoted to the 14 track second disc, titled 'Unissued', consisting entirely of previously unreleased studio and live tracks. It should be stated however, since I have lived a period of time with both recordings, that the remastered version of 'Untitled' stands in bold contrast to the original CD version. ... Read More
