(Untitled)

(Untitled) is a double album by American band The Byrds, released in 1970 (see 1970 in music). It marks the last change to the band's line-up, with John York being asked to leave in September 1969, just preceding the release of Ballad of Easy Rider, so that Skip Battin could take his place.

The first LP is comprised of concert material (the first release of any live Byrds recordings), highlighted by a well-received 16-minute rendition of 1966's "Eight Miles High". The second disc is a new studio album.

As a result, (Untitled) - again, produced by Terry Melcher - is generally considered The Byrds' best late-era recording and was well-received upon its release, reaching US #40 and UK #11, where it was bolstered by the surprise Top 20 hit "Chestnut Mare".
