I just picked up an early Rock N Roll collection at the local store and noticed the song titled as I put it in the subject line.
As far as I can tell it's the original commercial release that we all know so well.
I'm just a little surprised that I never noticed this before, as I've always thought the song's true title was, "Ain't That A Shame."
After a short read on Wikipedia, it appears that Pat Boone also recorded this song a month after Fats Domino, and titled his version,
"Ain't That A Shame." I'm guessing that if you have a 1955 recording from Fats, it should be titled, "Ain't It A Shame."
I looked for any earlier discussions about this song, but had no luck on this forum.

I see both titles used intermittently. Sure the record as originally released was labeled IT but on the record itself, Fats definitely sings THAT.
