Boult set down stereo recordings of Beethoven 3, 5, 6 and 7, plus 4 overtures, for Vanguard in the late 1950s.
These are not among the most widely circulated Boult recordings, but reissues do crop up from time to time. The 7th can be found on YouTube.
I haven't yet had the oportunity to compare the 2 sevenths, but the Vanguard one always seemed to me the pick of that bunch (though only the Eroica was disappointing, with a low-key first movement) and among the best on record.
