After frustrating ties with Brown and Cornell, Penn organized a coordinated attack against the Tigers and scored three times in the first period. Forward Bob Watkins scored three goals and assisted on a fourth as the Quakers outshot Princeton 38-15, Penn's goalie Alex Spector had a perfect afternoon except for a second period penalty shot by Lazlo Adams...
...Know the Woman" and "It's About Time," two of Dennis' songs, are as close to hard rock as the Beach Boys are likely to get. "Got to Know the Woman" is a simple rhythm-and-blues tune that builds gradually to a Phil Spector-like wall of sound. "It's About Time" is a somewhat pretentious ballad about self-realization-"Little did I know the joy I'd find in knowing I am only me"-but an incredible rhythm section and some of the best guitar work the Beach Boys have ever done make this one of the best...
...Followed by "Son Of a Preacher Man" and then "River Deep-Mountain High." "River Deep" was a mild disappointment to me because no effort was made to reproduce the arrangement or fullness of sound of the recorded version; on the other hand, if a live rendition could never approach Spector's "wall of sound," why not speed it up and inject it with soul?

...difficulties not only with radio, but with television and record companies, as well. Before doing the album with Spector, Ike had signed and recorded with around five or six other labels.

(Their image was a bit raunchier than it now, particularly after Tina discovered see-through apparel in Paris.) When Shindig considered them for a show, the head of ABC said No, Tina was too wild-although...
...know what you're getting? A 1948 Buick." But it isn't simply a return to the past; rather, as he says, "we're trying to get that old feeling back and then add some of the new tricks we've been learning." Ike and Tina, with Phil Spector's help, have already fully recaptured the feeling of the late Fifties in parts of the "River Deep Mountain High" album-and added something as well. And if people ever start really dancing again at concerts, it will surely be at an Ike and Tina show. Wake up and come together...
