I don't remember the gentleman's name, but the manager of the classical department of the Tower Records store in SF is a tuba player, and should be able to get anything you want that is in print. There was a post/thread sometime in the last couple of months by him with the phone number at the store. Search the archives for posts regarding Velvet Brown tuba recordings. If you like the SF Hindemith, you'll love any of the other Blomstedt performances.
On a side note, I haven't heard any of the recordings with Tilson Thomas, as he's not one of my favorite conductors, but I assume that Floyd sounds great. I would be interested in hearing anyone else's opinions of SF/TT recordings they've enjoyed.
