Liam,
There are many, here are a few to get you going, doubtless others will throw a few more into the ring.
Jazz Samba Encore! Stan Getz & Luiz Bonfa
Bossa Antigua - Paul Desmond featuring Jim Hall
Cannanball's Bossa Nova - Cannonball Adderly with the Bossa Rio Sextet of Brazil.
The two you already have are classics, enjoy.
Regards
Nic

Not necessarily bossa-nova per se, here are three of my all-time favorites:
Passarim - Antonio Carlos Jobim
Milton - Milton Nascimento
Native Dancer - Wayne Shorter
Three unabashedly life affirming albums.

If you are exploring this type of music then check out some of Bola Sete's albums.
Tour de Force
Atentico
The Incomparible Bola Sete
(these are from the early to mid 60s)
Also, look up Sergio Mendes Brasil '65 featuring Wanda de Sah. I heard that this one was recently remastered and released on CD. I have an original Capitol records mono LP that sounds fantastic.

I have the Verve 5 LP boxed set on vinyl of Stan Getz called 'The Bossa Nova Years'. It is everything he recorded in the genre. It may be available on CD.

Bob,
It is, on 4 CD's, seems like a bargain at under £12!
The Bossa Nova Years

A quick vote for Samba 68 by Marcos Valle. Sublime.
