Loved these sampler LPs when I discovered them going cheap in charity shops in the 80s! Discovered lots of life long musical loves such as Nick Drake through them.

![Bumpers is a double sampler album from Island Records, released in Europe and Australasia in 1970;.. The title refers to the basketball-style shoes on the front of the album cover and to the meaning "unusually large, abundant or excellent". The album is left to present itself: there are no sleeve notes; the gatefold interior consists of a photograph showing publicity shots of the featured acts attached to the stump of a tree on a seemingly wet and gloomy day, without any identification. This image is flanked on each side by the track listings, but even there, the information given is unreliable. Unlike its predecessors You Can All Join In and Nice Enough to Eat, there are no credits for cover art. [It was in fact by Tony Wright - his first sleeve for Island.] - Wikipedia](https://files.mastodon.social/cache/media_attachments/files/115/621/801/558/684/398/original/51990bb107b7eed0.jpg)
