Re the WARC / WWRY double A side thing.
I remember at the time that WATC was No.1 in France "only to be replaced in the top spot by WWRY". I have no idea where I read or heard that. Does this suggest that it was a double A in France.
I've found this from http://www.infodisc.fr/Tubes_Artiste_Choisi.php but I don't understand French so maybe someone can shed some light on the headings Mp, Nb and Nb Sem?

You read it on Queenlive, I guess. I think I'm the source of the info on Queenlive (the scan of the News of The World LP on Queenlive is mine too). I read it on an old French book "Queen L'Opéra Rock" by Stan Cuesta and probably on another book I can't remember.
The WWRY/WATC was most likely a double A side release in France. There are three different versions of the single: one is the same as the other countries with the head of the robot and the label is a crest label. Two have "We Will Rock You" added on the front sleeve and there are two labels: one is the common crest one and another is very unique green (éditions Francis Day, I tried to find some info about it but no luck).
