Traffic was a UK rock band with heavy psychedelic influences (initially).
This song is very typical of the psychedelic era, music was all about Flower Power, Hippies and lots of drug references to enhance the "out of world" experience - even The Beatles were getting into it!
Here is a taste of the lyrics extracted from the Side A recording to give you an idea
I looked to the sky
Where an elephant's eye
Was looking at me
From a bubblegum tree
And all that I knew
The hole in my shoe
Was letting in water (letting in water)

Australian release
Generic OLD Festival record label cover is in good condition, light paper "rot" to the very top edge
New inner plastic sleeve
Vinyl is in very good condition, visually inspected and I can see a very light scratch/mark on Side A and a couple of light scuff marks on Side B, but the only real way to tell is to play the ENTIRE record, both sides, and there are no significant problems at all with surface noise or clicks/pops - a real psychedelic trip down memory lane!
