The single in France was a different story. Because WATC got to No 1 in the French charts, there rules state that a single cannot be No 1 longer than 12 weeks in a row, which WATC achieved. So to get around the rules EMI Pathe Marconi issued the regular picture sleeve with the words We Will Rock You on the front cover to distinguish that this was the new A side. The single then continued at No 1 with WWRY as the A side and radio played WWRY as the new single.

Don't know if this is the case around the world, but when the Australian radio station "Triple M" play We Will Rock You, it is ALWAYS followed by We are the Champions. Every time.

The Queen USA Elektra release:
WATC E-45441-A
WWRY E-45441-B
When it was released, one never knew when WWRY was played whether WATC would follow, or would be something entirely different.
As to double A sides, one example is:
The Beatles 'Day Tripper/We Can Work It Out' http://www.jpgr.co.uk/r5389.html
