Not quite.

Martians Stay Home was a U.K. LP (Atlantic K 50714) with tracks that were not included on the American LPs The Swinging Mr Rogers (Atlantic LP 1212), Martians Come Back! (Atlantic LP 1232) and Way Up There (Atlantic LP 1270). Those tracks were not released in the United States until Mosaic issued them on their Shorty Rogers set.

There was no Shorty Rogers LP entitled Martians Go Home; I think you meant Martians Come Back! (Atlantic LP 1232).

There was another LP that was only released in the U.K., Clickin' with Clax (Atlantic K 50481), with tracks that were recorded in March 1956; these tracks were not released in the United States either until Mosaic issued them on their Shorty Rogers set.

The tracks that were only issued on the U.K.-only LP Martians Stay Home were,

a) from the The Swinging Mr Rogers sessions:

Loaded

Bill

Twelfth Street Rag

The Lady in Red

b) from the Martians Come Back sessions:

Barbaro

Martians Stay Home

Peals

Easy

Amber Leaves

The tracks on the U.K.-only LP Clickin' with Clax were:

Toyland

I Dig Ed

Adam in New York

Clickin' with Clax

Put the Goodies On

Our Song

Pete's Meat

Mike's Peak
