Jan Berry's original music score, used by Wrecking Crew studio musicians to record the original track in 1963. A classic album cut from Jan & Dean's Dead Man's Curve/The New Girl In School LP, released in April 1964.

"'B' Gas Rickshaw" was one of the defining tracks of Jan Berry's orchestral approach to Rock 'n' Roll, as heard in "Ride the Wild Surf," "Anaheim, Azusa...," "It's As Easy As 1,. 2, 3," "When It's Over," and others, and culminating in his sessions for Pop Symphony in the spring of 1965.

Transcribed by Mark A. Moore from Jan Berry's music archive, in association with his estate. Moore is the author of Dead Man's Curve: The Rock 'n' Roll Life of Jan Berry (McFarland 2021) and The Jan & Dan Record (McFarland 2016).
