 Offset from concert pitch (A 440). Spread: the middle half of the songs, when four or more share the album's pitch. Confidence: how well the notes agree with one grid.

Before we measured, sources said: D Standard, with no pitch given (community).

The first album a whole step down. Every tab is in D Standard and the audio check confirms it, against a 2022 report that called a later album the first in D. Measured about 7 ¢ sharp (A ≈ 442).
