Short for Brooklyn Trucking Express. First album gave two noteable singles, "Do it till you're satisfied" - a classic wah-wah guitar backing, Theme from Shaft style - and "Express", with the ground breaking violin and flute sounds which were to shape the sound of disco music for the next decade.
"Non-stop" album was mixed by Tom Moulton and includes "Peace pipe" and "Discotizer".
More albums followed with harsher funk sounds, giving "Give it what you got", "Whatcha think about that", "We got it together" and by 1980 "Give up the funk (let's dance)" and "Does it feel good".
BT Express were the brainchild of Brass Construction's Randy Muller. The musicians included Mark Radice and Kashif, who later recorded as a successful solo artist.
There is a UK-only pressing on 12" of "Express" and "Do it".
