I agree completely. The English Everests are some of the best of the early stereo recordings. Vinylphanatic has some of the original reel to reel tapes which arguably sound even better than the LPs. Boult's Vaughan Willliams 9th Symphony is a particular favorite of his (and mine).In the Music forum people tend to be more interested in today's high rez streaming and downloads (see the post from Chris from Lafayette below), so you may have a less sympathetic audience here.

The Vaughan Williams is as fresh as paint. The others, like Corroboree and Fest Romane are no slouches either. I am not sure, but I think I have all of the Everest two track tapes.
C.J. King's 2-track tape list has the Everest titles. I'm working on the latest update. There are 42 classical titles (3001 thru 3042). The list appears complete. There are 36 popular titles with missing numbers in the series. The list may or may not be complete. There will be a new popular title in the updated list. I'm always looking for missing titles.
The 2013 list is available through Yahoo Groups. However, it's only visible to members of the group. See link below.
I haven't posted the 2015 update yet because I'm still working on it. I can email it to you. I have your email. Let me know. It's an Excel file that goes to about 40 printed pages.
The hall was also the venue for many of the great Decca and Lyrita recordings (lots of the Wilkie ones) as well as for many fine issues for other labels. A beautiful building for lovers of Art Deco. Fortunately now Grade 2 listed ( which means that it can't be substantially altered or demolished - well in theory).
Building seems well maintained and unaltered.
