The BIS series of recordings is on hold pending resolution of these issues:
A new series a recordings of Swedish symphonies on Naxos will include some Pettersson symphonies. First issue will be: Symphony no. 7 and Mesto; conductor, Petter Sundqvist. If this disc is a commercial success, more Pettersson symphonies may be recorded.
The long-missing master tapes of the 1st recording of Symphony no. 6 have been rediscovered. A reissue seems unlikely.
All recordings are STEREO unless indicated otherwise.
There is also a list of comparative timings.
