New, Fun Band-in-a-Box Enhancements from Norton Music
If you liked the Ultimate Pop Rock Fake e-Disk You'll Love this new Ultimate Rock Pop Fake e-Disk *
One of our most loved Band-in-a-Box collection since the 1990s has been Norton Music's companion e-disk to Hal Leonard's Ultimate Pop Rock Fake Book. The folks at Hal Leonard published a companion book with a similar name, the Ultimate Rock Pop Fake Book. Reversing the Rock and Pop words so they don't supersede the original.
It's a Who's Who of Rock/Pop music. From Elvis Presley, to The Beatles, to Madonna, to Prince, to Taylor Swift, the most important stars of the Rock and Pop music are there.
We've been working hard to interpret the almost 550 songs ala Band-in-a-Box and we're proud of our work.
The best of both worlds: As usual, we've assigned a MIDI style and the BiaB robot should suggest a Real-Tracks style for each song. Assigning MIDI is the only way to give you both choices.
If you don't have the style assigned, no problem, just substitute one if the styles from your Band-in-a-Box collection. Or be adventurous, and reinterpret the song with a different style of music. Check out the free samples in the song list.
It's a Pop/Rock gig in a box!
If you purchase the optional Fake Book, you can load the song, open the book, and play and/or sing along. It's your Rock/Pop gig in a box.
And since they are in Band-in-a-Box .sgu format, you can rearrange them, change the key, pick a new style, and customize them to fit your musical personality.
Windows or Mac - it works on both.
Norton Music has been making Band-in-a-Box improvement products since the beginning, when Band-in-a-Box was written in pre-Windows DOS, Mac was in OS-6 and there was even an edition for the Atari computer. Our products have been recommended by the good folks at PG music, and rather than try to replace anything PG does, we add value to your favorite auto-accomplishment program, Band-in-a-Box. If you have Band-in-a-Box, you need this e-disk.

I ordered the book through Amazon. Be aware that it weighs nearly 4 pounds—sucker is huge. Have a good pair of reading glasses as the typeface for the lyrics is quite small. The pages are 9" x 12"
For those wondering, posating a page from a book as part of a review is an unambiguous example of Fair Use under Title IX (Copyright Act)..

My copy just showed up this morning. And, yes, it weighs almost as much as a boat anchor. I also just received a new music stand to use for it, and for the Jazz Real Books volumes 1-6 for C instruments. [Waiting for Bob to finish the fake disk for volume 6. I have the fake disks for volumes 1-5.] This is one well-built, cleverly designed, heavy duty music stand that packs into a small carry case for transport to rehearsals or gigs. It ships from China with some of the best tracking info I've experienced anywhere. Well-packaged, it arrived pretty quickly and in perfect condition. I bought the Concerto Combo that included the light, device holder and carry case. [Mouse over the music stand tile and click on Choose Options.] Click on the product link in the video's description. That will get you a 15% discount.
I first heard about it from one of my favorite online bass players. She's a Russian expat living in Christchurch, NZ.

The comb binding is an important feature for the book. Reading some of the older Amazon reviews, this may not have always been available. THANKS, Mike!

I had twp choices on checkout. The one that listed comb binding was a lot more and would take longer to get to me. Hmmm... I looked up the cost of having it added to the softcover at my local Kinko's. Ok, $5–$8 wasn't very much so I ordered the less expensive binding and, as you could see, it came with comb binding. Pretty sure they all come that way and mentioned it on my review.

I like that I can load the song, open the book, and play along. It keeps my sight-reading skills current. There are a lot of nice songs in the book, so also the software.
Thanks to all who purchase my BiaB add-ons. I sincerely hope they bring you countless hours of enjoyment.
