Try recordings of the Phillip Jones Brass Ensemble. There might not be much in print, but I know Phillips has at least a few on CD. Start with the greatest hits (PHillips 289 467 746-2). This is a 2 cd set which contains Fletcher playing multi-track recordings of tuba quartet music. Very very cool. Fletcher also recorded the Vaughan Williams concerto with the London Symphony, but I don't know on what this is currently available. You have to hear Fletcher, he was amazing.

There is an old CD called The best of Fletch, which is published by the John Fletcher Trust Fund in London. It is a compilation of tracks featuring Fletch's playing, including the Gregson and Vaughan Williams concerti, Flight of the Bumblebee, Carnival of Venice, some movements from The Cello Suites and the Arnold Fantasy.
I got my copy from Bob Tucci in München (www.hornboerse.de).

Fletcher also recorded the Vaughan Williams concerto with the London Symphony, but I don't know on what this is currently available.

This recording is on CD now - it can be bought from Amazon, or if you want the finer details to order it through your local dealer,

the amazon-listed title is: Vaughan Williams, Symphony No. 5, etc.
