Disklavier

You might check out the albums offered by eBay seller dca100:

These are not PianoSmart albums but rather PianoSoft Plus Audio CDs that 
have the original albums already present and synced up. Adele and 
Charlie Brown Christmas albums are right there on the first page of 
search results.  The seller claims the piano accompaniments added are 
all original and his use of the original album audio is legit, but I 
figure it would be almost impossible to get permission to release albums 
like this in the U.S. (he's in Canada).

Another third-party source of PianoSoft Plus Audio CDs is WebOnly Piano:
