B. T. Express signed with production company Roadshow Records then a deal was struck with Scepter, initially they recorded as the Madison Street Express - they rehearsed on Brooklyn’s Madison street - but the label insisted they change their name and B.T. Express was born - BT short for Brothers Trucking but the group didn’t like it so changed it to Brooklyn Transit.
