 The two @-@ record ( Untitled ) album was released by the Byrds on September 14 , 1970 to positive reviews and strong sales , with many critics and fans regarding the album as a return to form for the band . Peaking at number 40 on the Billboard Top LPs chart and number 11 in the UK , the album 's success continued the upward trend in the band 's commercial fortunes and popularity that had begun with the release of the Ballad of Easy Rider album . The live half of ( Untitled ) included both new material and new renditions of previous hit singles , including " Mr. Tambourine Man " , " So You Want to Be a Rock ' n ' Roll Star " and a 16 @-@ minute version of " Eight Miles High " , which comprised the whole of one side of the original LP release . Band biographer Johnny Rogan has noted that the inclusion of these newly recorded live versions of older songs served to forge a spiritual and musical link between the Byrds ' current line @-@ up and the original mid @-@ 1960s incarnation of the band .
