Before we measured, sources said: A Standard, with no pitch given (widely reported).
Ross Robinson and Indigo Ranch again, two years later, with the same tuning. The CD sits about 8 ¢ sharp (A ≈ 442), but its dense, distorted mix is hard to read, so single songs scatter.

Notes
A one-minute cover of War's Low Rider sung by Head, with a bagpipe part. The tabs disagree on its tuning (A or B♭), and TuneLit's check from the audio fits neither cleanly; check by ear.
The Songsterr tab puts guitars and bass half a step lower than the rest of the album (B♭ E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭); an Ultimate Guitar tab keeps the album's A D G C F A D.
