tenor tuba in Planets

Ever since the change it's been very difficult to find old information and one of them is on the album that I think Boston Symphony used a tenor tuba (not euphonium) for the solo in Mars from the Planets.

Can somebody tell me the album name, conductor, year of the album, orchestra, whatever information someone may have? Thanks a bunch.

1972 "The Planets" William Steinberg-Conductor. Chester Schmitz actually played an Alexander F tuba on the tenor tuba part.

Thank you! I looked through iTunes and I found this album. It says released in 2001 but the cover looks older. I don't know if you can go to this link but is this the album that you mentioned:
