Rare Stamps was an odd release. It would appear to have been meant as something of a greatest hits album even though it is only his 3rd album of 8 on Stax. Five of the tracks here come from those first two albums but seven more singles culled from the same period make it essential, at least until we finally get that complete Eddie Floyd Stax set from someone like Ace. For now, to fill in your Stax sides, you will need this one too.
I do have Eddie's final Stax album Soul Street ready to go but there is a 4 album gap before that:
You've Got to Have Eddie - (1969) - Stax
California Girl - (1970) - Stax
Down to Earth - (1971) - Stax
Baby Lay Your Head Down - (1973) - Stax
Let's see if someone offers up any of these titles before I jump ahead to Soul Street.

Hello amigo,
a link to a Eddie Floyd folder containing 3 of the albums (I don't have the "Down to earth")

that's what i'm talkin' about! hell yeah!
Wow!! Thanks for all of it fellas, Knock On Wood has become a go to album for me.
Another wonderful surprise.
I'd heard of Eddie because I was on yesterday's teenage dance-floors with "Knock On Wood", but I had lived blithely unaware he had such a body of impressive recordings. It was the same for me, I remember, on being introduced by this site to the collected works of the Wicked Pickett..... And I am still recovering from discovering Eddie Bo.
Wonderful.
I love surprises.
Especially as potent as these.
KC and Patsoul - this is awesome. Thank you!!!
THanks for these KC & Patsoul! Very happy now!!
Patsoul thanks for Eddie Floyd!
can you reup these links please?
If ANYONE out there has this album could you make it available here? I think re-up requests to this blog itself are probably pointless... I've never got a response in the past few years and the last post was about 2 years ago.. For all I know the proprieter of this blog may be dead since even chatbox requests as to his health were left unanswered...
