Soul Limbo Soul Limbo Soul Limbo is the seventh studio album by the American R&B band Booker T. & the M.G.'s, released in 1968 on Stax Records. The album was the first Stax LP issued after the label severed its ties with former distributor Atlantic Records in 1968. The title track is perhaps best known in the UK as the theme tune for BBC Television's cricket coverage and later for "Test Match Special". It features a marimba solo by Terry Manning. Its composition is somewhat similar to a song by Byron Lee and the Dragonaires. The song was later covered by the
EastEnders theme tune for 15 years before another revamp took place. From 7 September 2009, the theme tune was rescored by May to include stronger drum beats and more background percussion. The theme has also been remixed into a much slower and less dramatic version for use with "EastEnders Revealed" and a rock version for use with "EastEnders Xtra". Subsequent spin-offs "Ricky & Bianca" and "EastEnders: Slaters in Detention" have used the softer guitar version. 2010 internet spin-off "" features a new remix of the theme tune, which was chosen by producer Deborah Sathe, executive producer Diederick Santer, Simon May, director Michael Keillor
