RogerFoster 14th Oct 2024		Review As I write this in October 2024 it is exactly fifty years since B.T Express's debut single "Do It ('Til Your Satisfied)" both topped Billboard's US R&B listings and received its UK release on Pye International 7N 25666. The single didn't quite manage to top Billboard's "Pop" listings but it did hold the #2 spot for two weeks!! I could have sworn it was a UK chart-hit as well as I remember hearing it being played a lot on the radio but somehow it missed out. This CD contains all the tracks from the LP that was rushed out to capitalise on the success of the single plus the 7" edits of "Do It ('Til Your Satisfied)" and its follow up "Express" (a tune that also topped Billboard's US R&B Chart as well as getting to #4 on the magazine's "Pop" Hot-100 chart). "Express" DID manage to chart in The UK at a respectable(ish) #34, but probably outsold many a Pop-Top-20 hit as a lot of its sales would have been through specialist Soul/Disco/Funk shops that didn't report to the folks who compiled the charts.,. the L.P. versions of these two tunes on this CD sound to me to be the same as the "Long" versions that were on the "B" sides of their respective singles. B.T. Express were one of a number of popular New York City based self-contained Disco/Funk/Soul/R&B bands that emerged around 1974 (the clue is in the name as "B.T. Express" stands for "Brooklyn Transit Express") and I was spurred into buying this CD after hearing some of the lesser known tracks being played on a splendid "early '70s" Soul/Funk radio show called "The Soul Power Lunch Hour" that goes out every weekday at Midday EST on WQSV in Staunton, Virginia (that's usually at 5PM where I live in England where I can pick it up via "The Net") ... try it, you'll like it!! Fifty years on all the tracks stand up very well and still sound VERY fresh and not rushed at all ... apart from the relentless, insidious funk of their two major hits, standouts for me are "Mental Telepathy", a very "Norman Whitfieldesque" track that has echoes of "Papa Was A Rolling Stone", and "That's What I Want For You Baby", which has more of a mainstream "Soul" sound than the other tracks. "Once You Get It" is really a "Do It (Until You're Satisfied)" soundalike and "Everything Good To You" is one of those "advice" songs that might have been a big hit if recorded by someone like The Staple Singers. Here are some of the standouts ... 1 person found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
