it was the early Everest label that first pioneered the use of 35mm magnetic film in recording as part of the record producing process. Later, a couple of other labels followed this method. Somewhere on the bookshelf I have a reference that suggests Robert Fine purchased the magnetic film recording equipment from Everest and began using them for Mercury Living Presence and also some of the early Command Classics records. Robt. Fine operated as an independent contractor but did frequently work for both of those labels. I don't know if he did any work for Everest.
Unfortunately there isn't very much data available (on the net) for the early Everest recordings. A shame.

I have the Everest Pines Of Rome/Fountains Of Rome (done on 35mm), which is an excellent (if somewhat exuberant) performance and a decent recording (with exception to the first few minutes of each side- sounds like flutter in the speed which goes away after a bit).

Sounds like the original tape was no longer in perfect condition when your (I assume) recent audiophile reissue was made. But that flutter no doubt could easily have been corrected digitally -- if only you ANALOG JUNKIES would allow that!!! ;-)
