This has to be one of the first KEA shirts. Not sure if it's a boot or an official promo. I bought this in fall '83, a few months after the album came out. Label is completely faded.
If it is a bootleg, then the printer went the extra steps to make it look like it is from the 80s tracking down old used t-shirts to print on. Giving insight as a merchandise collector and screenprinter.
I bought this in late '83, or maybe in the first couple of months of '84. I used to think it wasn't an official shirt because it didn't have back print. Now I'm not so sure, it might have been an industry promo shirt for the summer '83 album release.

The tag's completely faded, sadly. I tried to conjure up something with my 2002 Photoshop skillz, but to no avail I'm afraid.

Isn't the print lacking in wear for the amount of use the shirt shows?

That too. There should be some cracking and fading in the ink especially since the design is printed with plastisol ink.
