Various Artists - The Hottest Sounds Around: The Best of Trex Records, Vol. 1-7 (2022)

The Hottest Sounds Around: The Best of Trex Records is a compilation album released in 2018 by Cherry Red Records. The album features a selection of tracks from Trex Records, a British record label founded in 1967 by Tony Visconti and Mickey Finn. The label was named after the band T. Rex, which was managed by Visconti at the time.

Trex Records was not a commercial success, and it folded in 1973. However, the label's releases are now considered to be classic examples of glam rock.
