"No Limit"... killer tune!

Looks like Marcel has added another song that it doesn't appear was released on an album or single. Some cool live performance footage sprinkled in for good measure. Woot! Woot!

With mixed feelings given early comment about Frank's view of these recordings, granted I'm not the up-loader, I present several more from this era, including a few more tunes named in Ivan's track list earlier in the thread) for the to-be 3rd album: Track 1, "African Theme", Track 10, "Enola Gay" (OMD cover), Track 11 (per upload comments) "Rosa", and what I'll call Track 13b - a second version of "On Her Majesty's Secret Service".

In addition, perhaps some of the "?" placeholders in Ivan's list as tracks 6, 7, (possibly 9?), 12 or 14: "Happy House", "Punch & Judy" ("They recorded this little ditty for the National Puppet Show Foundation", also cited as part of the 'to be album'), "Gamba Sagrada", and "Honda 400 Four".

Also:
- "A Young Girl of 16" / "Een Meisje Van 16" - a cover of Boudewijn De Groot (doing the song originally written by Charles Aznavour)
- "Aurora" a song by The Squires (Neil Young's first band and first ever single!) for a Neil Young Tribute album "This Note's For You Too!"
- "The Holy Land", from a 1992 pre-Treble Spankers band The String Phantoms. This, a western vocal tune from that band that band that had future Treble Spankers Frank Gerritsen on lead guitar and Marcel Kruup on drums.

Enjoy!

PS - @Ivan, if you get the chance to check some of these possible add's to the orginal "3rd album" and update your earlier post with any of song names & track #'s, that'd be amazing!

I have never heard of this band until now. Thanks for posting the songs/videos, I am enjoying them.

MooreLoud.com - A tribute to Dick Dale. EP Louder Than Life coming out soon!

Yes! Well done, Fady! We can flesh out the tracklist more fully:

1. African Theme
2. Aguila Dos
3. Walk Like An Egyptian
4. Estrella (AKA Aranda de Duero)
5. Indian Theme Song
6. Happy House
7. Gamba Sagrada
8. Boom Agency
9. Punch & Judy
10. Enola Gay
11. ?
12. On Her Majesty's Secret Service
13. Joh, Zo, Dus eh...

So, only one mystery track remaining!!

BTW, as far as "Young Girl of 16", I have that one as part of the Toe Rag Sessions.

"Honda 400 Four" and "Aurora" don't sound familiar, I don't think I've heard them before.

Thanks, Fady, making progress!!

Ah, shoot, Fady, you're right, I was hurrying and botched it!

OK, here's what I got after a closer look:

1. African Theme
2. Aguila Dos
3. Walk Like An Egyptian
4. Estrella (AKA Aranda de Duero?)
5. Indian Theme Song
6. Happy House
7. Gamba Sagrada
8. Boom Agency
9. Punch & Judy
10. Enola Gay
11. ?
12. ?
13. On Her Majesty's Secret Service
14. Rosa
15. Joh, Zo, Dus eh...

The 11th track on my CD is not Rosa, it's the 14th track

The 11th track is VERY dark and brooding, with a feedback and scary noises section (and some backwards effects) in the middle that goes on for a minute and a half (in a three and a half minute track).

The 12th track is another ballad, pretty similar to "Estrella." I don't know where I got the title "Aranda De Duero" for "Estrella", but I wonder if that's the title of the 12th track instead and I somehow got them mixed up?

I hope that helps!

I've also just stumbled across these live performance videos. Some significant view counts on YouTube, but I'm pretty sure I've not seen them before... and not for lack of looking!

I just remembered where I got the title "Aranda De Duero" - Phantom Frank rerecorded "Estrella" as one of the three bonus tracks for the MuSick reissue of his solo album, and gave it the title "Aranda De Duero". It's obviously the same track, though. Beautiful in both versions, a bit more uptempo on his solo album.

Good on ya, sorting out "Estrella" vs. "Aranda De Duero",Ivan, and Thanks for making that Playlist!

Not much to add to this, but I want to express my appreciation to both Fady and Ivan for their efforts here.

For all you newer members unfamiliar with Treble Spankers and Frank's newer band Phantom Four, I highly recommend them. A master class on making a 4 piece instrumental band accessible to non-surf fans, as well as building songs around the rhythm section. One of the very best!

Woot! Woot! Another 'lost' song posted by Marcel somewhat recently (a few months ago, apparently). Per his YT upload description: "Yet another unreleased track! A couple more to go and the 3rd album is out there in its entirety."
