I believe it might be the rare first pressing in which the song under the title "Sally" is actually "Sally".
The actual song "Sally" has the "Sally, I'm just a gorilla" lyrics, and some of the music matches the track "Airborn".
Later pressings, including the one I bought new, still have the track called "Sally" on the label, but the actual song on the LP is "Into Wonderland" ("May I say,One fine day,If you say you would,We could run away.").
I found this paragraph describing the situation at the Amazon.com review of the album:
""Sally" is a nice love song, typical seventies pop style,nothing special but listenable and fun - the interesting story is that "sally"...is not the original song - Real "sally" was kind of a joke and was too silly that right after the premiere of this album Virgin records forced mike to put something more representative for the album - so he did and recorded the song "Into wonderland" that became second "sally" -The new remastered edition" contains "Into wonderland" instead of amusing original mix...
The name "Sally" persists for this track, even on the remastered CD.

Where the Falls of Minnehaha
Flash and gleam among the oak-trees,
Laugh and leap into the valley."
