Yep, it's a semitone.
And that's analog tape for you - if you slow it down, both pitch and speed are affected. You can only separate the two digitally.
Not sure if the bit about analogue tape was specifically addressed at me or not, but I'm well aware of that, and possibly wasn't particularly clear. I meant that - particularly on TGB - the tempo feels even slower than it should be if it was only lowered/decreased by a semitone.
Not that it really matters!

I read somewhere (I forget where) that Freddie's voice was too weak to sing live at this stage, hence the lip-sync.
