Belock had those 35 MM tape decks custom made for Everest, IIRC (35 mmm wide analog sprocket driven tape). These later got sold to Mercury and Bob Fine for their famous Living Presence Series (or at least some of them). I believe Philips now own them and has restored them for their reissues.
Although not so great sonically, later Everest actually took many Melodiya, recordings IIRC, and issued them for US consumption. A few other US companies also did so, an it gave US listeners their first exposure to artists behind the iron curtain
Follow Ups:
mostly from the secondary European labels, including Melodiya, Supraphon and Erato (which was eventually bought by RCA). But the pressings were usually not first quality.
Always thought their masters were problematic as even the originals were not quite so good.
