Bands tuning out of tune, why?

The backing tracks to some sixties hits were clearly recorded slower in a lowered key and then sped up for the vocal overdubs. This makes the music really jump out. Concrete and Clay by Unit Four sounds like this was done but I've never heard a detailed account of the recording session.

Sometimes it's just down to the mixing. A classic example is Layla by Derek and the Dominoes... original riff is D minor pentatonic, but sounds like Eb because it was sped up to give a bit more energy.

Doesn't matter speed you play it those slide guitars at the end are nowhere close to being in tune!
