These books are great.
But I just wanted to say that the 1 star review on this site entitled DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY is most unfortunate and erroneous.
The downloads are perhaps not the easiest to find necessarily, but the website link detailed on the front of the books was enough to be able to find them:
if you go to the page where you buy the relevant book from (under music/sheet music and tutor books)
then select the resources tab
all the background tracks are available for download at this point.
I hope that helps and doesn't involve the likes of Trading Standards.
Thank you so much for your positive review and for taking the time to share such helpful information, Steve. We’re really glad you’ve found the downloads accessible and appreciate you highlighting where to find them. Your feedback is incredibly valuable and will definitely help other customers. If anyone ever has trouble accessing resources or needs further assistance, please do get in touch—we’re always here to help.

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY
The book is useless. It was written to be used with a CD which is no longer included. The cover claims a download is now included instead. It is not - there is no download available on the publisher's website. I've tried to contact the publisher multiple times by email and chat - they have ignored all messages. Appalling service from a shoddy, disreputable company. I have reported them to Trading Standards.
