From an online description:
O.D. Corral (led by singer David Bradley)
were a well-known local San Diego, California band with a stoned,
long-haired Hippie Country Rock sound in the vein of the International
Submarine Band / Flying Burrito Bros. / Sir Douglas Quintet. This LP
was recorded live in San Diego in July, '75 and features the band in
excellent form tearing through covers of Merle Haggard's Mama Tried, The
Race Is On, Diggy Diggy Li, Topanga and others in between occasionally
obscene slip-ups and raucous stage patter. By the time this was
recorded, the Burritos-style Hippie Country movement was already on the
wane, which may account for the band's near-total obscurity (note that
there is a Jerry Jeff Walker song called "O.D. Corral," but it's unclear
whether this is a tribute to Bradley's band or if they took their name
from the song.) In any case, this LP is almost totally unknown. with a
handmade cover taped together from demo artwork; it's also not clear
whether the album ever saw an actual commercial release or if it only
exists in demo form.
NOTE: This is the actual release.

A playable, enjoyable copy of an extremely rare album.
