_The Who: The Illustrated Discography_ (Ed Hanel 1981) has this
entry:

I'm The Face (Meaden)/Zoot Suit (Meaden)
Fontana TF 480
Released 3 July 1964
Re-issued with Zoot Suit as the A-side in late 1964 or early 1965.
Re-issued as Backdoor Records Door 4 in March 1980 with a picture
sleeve.

Like Joe however I've never actually seen it.

The same book mentioned above states that the first 1,000 copies
of Anyway/How/Where had a pop-art picture sleeve. Also, 
I have a promo Pinball Wizard single that has a picture sleeve, but
I think it's a US promo.
