Yeah, but I don't think that was the case. If these were really David Bryan's tapes, he probably had them in the correct speed/pitch.
Those ananlog cassettes usually vary between Type I and II (printed on them) and with high-quality tape decks, you can switch between these settings in order to have them play in the correct speed/pitch.
Here probably a cheap cassette player was used and the sound from it recorded with a mobile phone. If a proper digitalization was done with the right equipment/knowledge, these cound actually sound like proper studio recordings.
