Well I have both vhs and dvd and I noticed that the pitch has changed since the dvd has came, to me I am confused on which pitch is the real audio. I thought then, they always used to change pitches in the 70's a lot but, I figured that I should post this on the web first and get your thoughts on this. Cheers -acdcrocks4ever!

I think, depending upon the copy of the VHS and the VCR, vs the CD, or the DVD (and also PAL vs NTSC) you'll get slightly different "pitches" due to the thing being recorded on analog tape.

Yes, all depend from TV system. I have original PAL VHS totally play 94 min. and 2 DVD remaster 2011, PAL (94 min.) and NTSC (97 min.). Originally film was shot with 24 frame per second. NTSC version have normal (original) speed, but PAL speed little faster. 97x24/25=94 min. speed for PAL.

Sounds like the same 'occurrence' I experienced with a analog recorded '96 show and a digital version of the same show. The playback system for the analog source has a higher tendency to 'pitch flux' being older technology; the analog rollers speed fluctuate and have slowed somewhat through time, in my experience; the 'running down' of a machine. "New Satellite Blues"? Old Analog Pitch Blues! I imagine the source tape of 'The Seedies' sounds like it's all in the key of D or F, j/k!
