A fantastic pop-rock track from a Liverpool sextet. I love everything about it: the pulsating guitars and bass, the lead vocals and the harmonies ... and the trumpets in the chorus. Inasmuch as pop-rock is concerned, it doesn't really get better than this. "Vanilla-la-la" is a nice touch and a cool hook to end the chorus with. And is that a cow bell that I hear in the chorus? Whatever it is, it sounds great.

Listen here: "Vanilla" by Red Rum Club
