(Over the past 20 years there have been countless compilations of prime, raw British Beat. Many of these have featured tracks that have appeared several times already. This might give the impression that this particular well has run dry. I will admit that the gushing torrent of undiscovered pure R&B frenzy has now been reduced to a babbling country brook, but if you dig deep enough there are still some untapped reserves of top quality beat waiting to be unearthed. Nothing Comes Easy is a compilation of 20 such gems, previously uncomped on CD. Some of these bands may be familiar to you as they have appeared on other collections era of this genre, some have never, as far as Im aware, been comped til now.
