Paul McCartney recorded a version of ‘Ain’t That A Shame’ in 1987. However, it was withdrawn everywhere except Mexico shortly before the release date. Promotional copies were sent to radio stations. Lennon’s recording was to have been issued as a single, with ‘Slippin’ And Slidin” as its b-side. However, the version on the album was produced by Lennon himself in October 1974. ‘Ain’t That A Shame’ had been performed by Lennon and Elephant’s Memory during the Some Time In New York City sessions, and it is likely he performed it during the Phil Spector-produced sessions for Rock ‘N’ Roll. Owing to Lennon’s lack of enthusiasm they didn’t perform Domino’s song, but did play several 1950s classics. During a studio jam session in March 1974, later bootlegged as A Toot And A Snore In ’74, Lennon was heard to mutter: “I’ve done ‘Ain’t That A Shame’ at twenty studios in these sessions.” The jam took place at Record Plant West in Los Angeles, and was the last time Lennon and McCartney – playing piano and drums respectively – were in the studio together.
