What Goes On (Lennon/McCartney/Starkey)

What Goes On originates from the Quarry Men days and had been considered as a followup single to Please Please Me. It is the only Beatles song credited to Lennon-McCartney-Starkey although early pressings of the U.S. Capitol single omitted Starkey from the songwriting credit.
