I feel like there could be something a little unnatural about the timbre of the voice on the recording; it seems noticeable when comparing to the live video. Tape speed alteration sounds believable to me.

I'm sure there's literally thousands of examples of tape speed manipulation knocking the overall pitch of tracks just slightly out of standard pitch. There's an entire Stranglers album (La Folie) that's like this because of the way Tony Visconti mixed it.

Then again, in the days of vinyl I'm sure different turntables all had their own inherent quirks which could potentially lead to further subtle pitch differences.

It's weird to think that there was a point in their early career where Zep had to mime their songs on TV shows like any other band of the era...

xpost Just about every song on "Highway to Hell" is in a different varispeed-manipulated key.

Obv. Zep get into tape manipulation a lot more on "Houses of the Holy" and "IV."
