About
Great old double LP vinyl from the 70's. Never made CD racks. It's a pity because it is a rare beauty.

Bumpers was a double sampler album from Island Records, released in Europe and Australasia in 1970. There were minor variations in track listings within Europe but the Australasian release was fundamentally different. Bumpers.
The album has no liner notes and the gatefold interior consists of a photograph showing publicity shots of the featured acts, without any identification. There are no credits for cover art (the cover art was by Tony Wright), photography or design. The English version came out in two pressings, one with the pink label and "i" logo, the other with the label displaying a palm motif on a white background and a pink rim. There are subtle differences between the recordings, although the variations on non-UK versions were much more fundamental, with a wholly different selection of tracks.
