Musician's studio notes for 'Bad' remix 87?

I just found this on e-bay and wondered if it was genuine and if it was of interest..... it looks as if it is written in pencil and is a bit smudgey. Perhaps a fake?

NOT FAKE! :cheeky:

This is a board track sheet, to guide the allocation of the channels for mixing. FYI, Bruce Swedien showed a similar track sheet for the mixing of Thriller on a workshop. here's the video, go to 01:24 time :

Thank you so much for the comments and for posting that video...I could listen to Bruce Swedien for hours ...I probably only understand one sentence in three, but the guy is so interesting it doesn't seem to matter. ( I read his book, understood maybe half, but still enjoyed it...he's a really talented chap and a great communicator). Wish I had his ears, to be able to dissect music that way..take it apart and put it back together. Even when he tells you what to listen out for, I still can't hear it (eg Michael dancing on the recording 'platform'.)
I saw one of the original mixing boards was up for sale on ebay too, a couple of days ago.
