Although not in the database, this flip side of his 1960 hit "My Girl Josephine" peaked at #38 in its own right in BB, in 12/60. My 45 is confirmed as Imperial 5704, is vinyl, with deadwax of "IM-2746-2". "Natural Born Lover" has a listed time of (3:09), but an actual time of (3:20). I just checked my two Fats Domino Box Sets, and the song runs much longer on both of them, (4:40) on "They Call Me The Fat Man", and (4:44) on "Walking To New Orleans". So, unless this track appears on still another domestic CD that I'm not aware of, the (3:20) 45 length does not appear to be currently available on CD.

jim was kind enough to send me his mono version of the fats
domino song 'natural born lover' from the uk cd set below
"Imperial Singles" Ace UK (2010) (3:59)
and after some surgery, i was able to re-create the proper
3:20 vinyl 45 version.....the song is the same until the
instrumental bridge at the 1:50 mark....if you edit out the
remaining 0:34 of the instrumental bridge and the tack on
the remaining 1:35 of the song, you can effectively re-
create the vinyl 45 version

Just came across this now, and thanks to Jim and ed for the info. I
wonder if the 3:59 timing is a British/European edit, to be labeled a
"single version" on an Ace "Singles" CD and all....
