I remember that, both Island Records and Bumpers was was basically a follow-up double with a fair few of the same artists. I’m off to see if Spotify has either of these!

El Pea and Clogs (folk)

First heard Nick Drake on El Pea and subsequently bought all his albums.

Your mention of Bumpers sampler reminded me of this. Nice Enough to Eat budget priced sampler album released by Island Records in 1969 which I bought in 1970. A brilliant album to this day. Some fantastic songs/artists on it.

Nice Enough to Eat is a budget priced sampler album released by Island Records in 1969.
Continuing the policy set by its predecessor You Can All Join In, the album presented tracks from the latest albums by established artists including Free, Traffic, and Jethro Tull, and introduced tasters from newer signings to the label, notably Nick Drake and King Crimson. The inclusion of the Nick Drake track, "Time Has Told Me", has been credited with providing the first opportunity for many record buyers to hear Drake's music.
It was priced as low as 14 shillings and 6 pence (£0.72), less than half of the standard album price at the time.

Track listing
A1 Fairport Convention - Cajun Woman 2:41
A2 Mott the Hoople - At the Crossroads 5:28
A3 Spooky Tooth - Better by You, Better Than Me 3:32
A4 Jethro Tull - We Used to Know 3:56
A5 Free - Woman 4:47
A6 Heavy Jelly - I Keep Singing That Same Old Song 8:18

B1 Blodwyn Pig - Sing Me a Song That I Know 3:06
B2 Traffic - Forty Thousand Headmen 3:12
B3 Nick Drake - Time Has Told Me 4:22
B4 King Crimson - 21st Century Schizoid Man 6:56
B5 Quintessence - Gungamai 4:20
B6 Dr. Strangely Strange - Strangely Strange But Oddly Normal 4:29

I've still got Bumpers. My first album purchase from Mr 'tax free' Branson.
 
Already mentioned but Morrison Hotel by The Doors.
Not their best album but a return to form after 2 mediocre albums.
 
Unpopular opinion (and I accept the growing up listening to Duran Duran and Soft Cell doesn't give me any credence at all!) but I looked at that top 25 website linked earlier and there's nothing that I'd enjoy listening to except the Bowie album. 🤷‍♂️ <puts tin hat on>
