- B^ "Eagle" (edited version) was released as a double A-side in most regions coupled with "Thank You for the Music" in 1977.
- C^ "Voulez-Vous" was released as a double A-side in the UK and Ireland with "Angeleyes". In Canada and the United States, "Voulez-Vous" and "Angeleyes" were released on the same single but charted separately.
