Peter Daltry, for it is he who coined the name, says it was just one of
a few phrases they had kicked around as an idea for a title, and has no
particular meaning. Just nicely psychedelic. The album was released in
1967. As far as any acid refs go, the guys themselves were cider
fuelled, surprisingly, if the sleeve notes are to be believed, and just
weren't into it. Daltry's online somewhere,  I'm told. Might be able to
ask him direct at some point.
