The Covers
The paper of the genuine is less smooth than that of the fake.
The white parts on the fake are brighter because the paper it is printed on is brighter than the paper of the genuine.
The black ink on the genuine is also darker than the black on the fake.
All the text detailing the parts the band members play in the fake is re-typed in a slightly less bold font.
