This is a tricky one because the lines between what's an actual vintage bootleg, and what's a modern copy have been completely blurred.

Also, it's two colors and easy to duplicate, and SADE is having a moment so it's been big target of counterfeiters. It's even available to buy new on eBay.

At one point, there was a discussion about how the tour locations are cramped together, i.e., "Camden,NJ" instead of "Camden, NJ." indicated a modern copy. Or other discrepancies with the fonts used, but in my experience with it, other authenticators were unsure of what was 100% a vintage version.

So, going to have to pass on this one, due to the time it would take.

Your best bet would be to gather up multiple images of the back and front and start identifying differences in an attempt to identify an original.
