Ain’t That a Shame by John Lennon -***; by Paul McCartney - ***

First released: 1975

Lennon recorded this Fats Domino tune from 1955 that actually was a #1 hit for Pat Boone! The Domino/Bartholomew song was included on Lennon’s "Rock ‘n’ Roll" album and almost was the second single off of the album or the b-side. It was also on 1990’s "Lennon" and "Instant Karma" from 2001.

Paul did a studio take for his "Choba B CCCP" album in 1988. This version was also one of the b-sides off of the "My Brave Face" CD single. A live version was performed by Paul on 1990’s "Tripping the Live Fantastic".

Somewhere along the line, someone did a mash-up of Lennon’s and McCartney’s versions together, long before the term “mash-up” was coined. This is not a legitimate release, but it was good to see Lennon and McCartney performing together again, at least fictionally.
