Christopher Lee's readings of The Valley of Fear and The Case-Book

I'm not sure if there's an earlier discussion thread for these. A search didn't give me any results.

I don't know if the titles here are all the Sherlock Holmes readings that Christopher Lee recorded. I haven't come across any others.

I have tried to find out when these were first released. The dates I have come from Worldcat which has the first as The Valley of Fear, released in 1991 by Random Century audiobooks. It's abridged. 2 hours 50 minutes. I have it here as a single mp3. 92MB.

Then in the late 1990s all 12 stories of The Case-Book, unabridged, were released by Harper Collins. But not in a single collection. They were released in 3 separate collections. The first in 1998 was simply titled The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes.
The 4 stories were -
01 The Adventure of the Blanched Soldier
02 The Adventure of the Creeping Man
03 The Adventure of the Mazarin Stone
04 The Adventure of the Three Gables

The next collection also released in 1998 was titled The Adventure of the Sussex Vampire and Other Stories.
The 4 stories were -
01 The Adventure of the Sussex Vampire
02 The Adventure of Shoscombe Old Place
03 The Adventure of the Illustrious Client
04 The Adventure of the Veiled Lodger

Finally in 1999 came the last 4 stories to make up a complete Case-Book. This set was titled The Adventure of the Lion's Mane and Other Stories.
The 4 stories were -
01 The Adventure of the Lion's Mane
02 The Adventure of the Three Garridebs
03 The Problem of Thor Bridge
04 The Adventure of the Retired Colourman
