What Goes On, Ringo's only lead vocal on Rubber Soul, is credited to the one-off song-writing partnership of Lennon/ Starskey. The song was an old one: the Beatles had intended to record it on 5 March 1963, during the From Me To You session, but had run out of time. It was revived for Rubber Soul when the Beatle, in their rush to complete the album, found themselves running short of new song ideas.

An instrumental recording by the Beatles, their first since signing with EMI in 1962, featuring drum, bass, two electric guitars (with George Harrison adding tone-pedal effects) and a harmonium (played by George Martin). Two takes were attempted, the first breaking down, the second completed at a lengthy 6.36 and from which this 2.54 Anthology edit has been produced. It is not clear if 12-Bar Original was intended for Rubber Soul but, certainly, the song was not mixed until the album was being pressed so it was never a serious contender. Indeed, the recording has remained unissued until now.
