Yup, it was the flip of Flying Saucer the Second. I don't know if it was an 
actual recording or just a long guitar blues riff repeated many times. The 
opening fanfare was stolen from Dukas' "La Peri" on Urania..I was amazed when I 
bought that recording on a Music Treasures of the World reissue and heard 
Martian Melody.
