Quotes & Notes


"Soul-Limbo" was Stax STA-0001, the first record released after the company ended its distrubution deal with Atlantic Records. The famous Stax finger-snapping logo first appeared on this 45.

"Soul-Limbo" hit #30 in the UK in December 1969 after the BBC used it as the theme song for their coverage of cricket matches.

The song features Isaac Hayes on piano and cowbell, as well as Terry Manning on marimba.
