CD, Toshiba-EMI Japan (2001)+0.6 ¢A 440.212−2.7 to +1.2 ¢High
 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: E Standard, with no pitch given (community).

Recorded at Atlantis and Polar Studios in Stockholm, with Jonas Isacsson, Christoffer Lundquist, Mats Persson and Per Gessle on 6- and 12-string guitars. The most even album we measured: every song within 8 cents of A 440, none far enough from the rest for its own value. Measured on the Japanese CD; its bonus track (an extended Entering Your Heart) is not part of the album here.

    Notes

    In D♭: the most popular chord sheet puts a capo on the 1st fret and plays C shapes, and another sheet uses the same shapes. About 8 cents sharp on the CD, close enough to the album to share its value.

    Capo on the 1st fret with C shapes, as the most popular chord sheet plays it; another sheet uses the same shapes. With the capo the chords land in D♭, the record's key.
