This is a totally genuine EMI pressed disc with a genuine Robor Ltd newspaper sleeve.
It is possible that this was a prototype experimental foldd but was abandoned because it did not show Lydon's face.
Also possibly a rare misaligned sheet at the folding stage sfc\
Original folded newspaper cover
Cover variant NOFACE: right hand fold ends with edge of 'red top banner' which then just shows the group name
The whole 'newspaper' is slightly smaller in height than the regular issue
Also top white border is shallower
Possibly a prototype rejected by company in favour of the regular issue which is slightly larger and with the fold ending at right edge of 'Jim's' face, and the whole sleeve enclosing the disc
The problem being that the disc sticks out whereas the regular issue encloses the single on one face
See other listings for variant cover and matrices
The cover is pratically immaculate with only very minor ageing discolouration mainly on the top edge
Disc has no spindle marks on the label and is super condition
Matrix variant A/B: VS + 228 + A & VS + 228 + B
