'''''Not Available''''' is the fourth studio album by the American band [[the Residents]], released in 1978.<ref name=RS/><ref>{{cite news |last1=Kelp |first1=Larry |title=Residents: They're unknown—but not unloved |work=Oakland Tribune |date=27 Nov 1979 |page=C1}}</ref> The album was allegedly meant to only be released once its creators completely forgot about its existence (adhering to their "Theory of Obscurity," in which an artist's purest work is created without an audience); however, due to ongoing delays in the release of ''[[Eskimo (album)|Eskimo]]'', ''Not Available'' was released to supply the demand for new Residents material, given their unexpected critical and commercial success following the release of the ''[[Duck Stab/Buster & Glen|Duck Stab]]'' EP.
