It was a good year, second only to 1969.It was a good year:
Zappa - Burnt Weeny Sandwich, Weasels Ripped My Flesh + Chungas Revenge
Black Sabbath - Debut + Paranoid
Neil Young - After the Goldrush
Miles Davis - Bitches Brew
Led Zeppelin - III
Jethro Tull - Benefit
Can - Soundtracks
Lindisfarne - Nicely Out of Tune
For me CCR were THE best ever- Even at 66 years old I still sing and play their songs regularly.Strangely or not, I got into C.C.R again after watching the Vietnam series on cable. Let in Be nearly made the list for me.
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.This is hard because I conflate what I listened to 3 yrs later, what I picked up from my elder brother (Free, Led Zep. - that I still love now) with what I actually liked in 1970.
But two albums I definitely bought and loved then as a 14 year old were Deep Purple in Rock and the Bumpers sampler album
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!Your mention of Bumpers sampler reminded me of this.

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.

Like you, I also got a 1969 sampler in 1970: Son of Gutbucket. Great title and this time Liberty Records. The only artist from it I went on to buy was Roy HarperYour mention of Bumpers sampler reminded me of this.
