B-side recorded on a 4-track at Laid Back Studio in April 1979. Tim Stahl: vocal and keyboards.

Overdubs and mix in Oct 1979 by Werner Scherrer at Werner's Studio.
"John Guldberg (vocals, guitar) & Tim Stahl (vocals, keyboards) had been booked for a studio session,
but the singer they were supposed to work with didn't show up! Studio owner Werner Scherrer then said
'jam up something as you're here anyway', and that's where an embryonic duo actually started out.
Guldberg & Stahl soon decided to form Laid Back, relinquishing a promising studio musician career prospect.
After having peddled some early tapes all over town in Copenhagen, they were rejected and dejected...
By then, they had found themselves a dynamic manager in Kjeld Wennick leading to a deal with a Hamburg-based label
instead of signing up with a local Danish record company. Teldec's label Strand went on to release 'Maybe I'm Crazy'
in Germany but nothing sensational happened... until it reached the shores of Denmark. '
'Maybe I'm Crazy' went on to become a massive hit back in their native country,
where record companies had earlier said 'no thanks... won't work in Denmark' ". [Comments by "MegaCC" - used by his permission, originally posted at http://www.discogs.com/release/868428]

Comments about the 2019 reissue bonus tracks:
"In the beginning Laid Back studio was a 4 track studio. Many of the songs from the 1st album were recorded on 4 track, also Bolivia.
However, in the process we upgraded to 8 track and re-recorded Bolivia, the version on the album. Listening back to the 4 track version,
it has got the groove that we lost on the 8 track version. We were then going for the best sound. We have learned a lot. All our big hits are first takes.
That’s where the magic is. Much time and efforts spend, to restore the 4 track version, without changing or adding anything. Just editing and improvement of sound.
Thanks to engineer Bjørn Winnem. Included as bonus track on the remastered album. Enjoy."

Summer 1982 | Danish 7" | Sunshine Reggae |
Sunshine Reggae 4.16 / Step Out of Your Box 4.21 (Medley Records, MDS 211)
A-side recorded at Laid Back Studio in May/June 1981. Tim Stahl: vocal, steel drum, accordion and keyboards.
John Guldberg: vocals and synthesizer guitar. Frank Marstokk: drums. Peter Hansen: bass. Mixed in May 1982
by Henrik Lund at Easy Sound Studio.
From Laid Back official fb page 24 June 2014: "Hey hey - we recently received fan mail with questions about Sunshine Reggae and the story behind. Here goes:
The idea of Sunshine Reggae was born on a honeymoon in the Caribbean way back in 1981. A carnival was taken place where many steel bands were performing. I immediately loved the sound.
When I got back in Copenhagen, Tim and I met at the studio on a sunny afternoon. The weather was perfect to give a try on a reggae, our style of reggae, a Danish Reggae.
I had some catchy chords and soon we had the groove going. The electronic sound was made with my new Roland synth-guitar and a vocoder. Then Tim went to a music shop near by to borrow a steel drum.
He never played it before but laid down the licks in no time. We had a small toy-accordion at the studio, that he used for the intro. Later on he added the rest on a full-scale accordion.
Still there were no vocals. The wall in our small toilet was like a collage, full of all kind of notes, postcards, photos from magazines with all kind of massages.
We picked one line from here, a word from there, just like a puzzle and then, blending it all together when we began singing and making the melody.
As I recall it, it took about 3 to 4 hours to write and record Sunshine Reggae. A few days later the legendary Norwegian drummer Frank Marstokk, added the drums and finally Peter Hansen added the bass.
The song was complete, ready for the final mix as you know it. Luckily we had no idea of what we were doing but spreading good vibes, indeed a true recording. The rest is history.
Good Vibes John"

"Following the success in Denmark of 'Maybe I'm Crazy', Laid Back thought it appropriate to sign with the then funkiest label in Copenhagen -
namely Medley Records (later acquired by EMI), rather than operating out of Hamburg, Germany.
By the time tracks had been recorded and were submitted to Medley, there was a slight hitch...
Medley didn't really like the tracks Laid Back intended for singles ['Sunshine Reggae' and 'White Horse'].
A compromise was reached, though: Medley agreed to release the two favourite Laid Back single choices as a double A-side release,
intending to call all shots from then on."

"This has to be one of the best-ever B sides of any 7" single. The A side was 'Sunshine Reggae', a monster hit in Europe, but...
Seymour Stein of Sire Records [USA] liked it but soon found out that his crew liked the B side - 'White Horse'.
Thus, the A side became 'White Horse' in the US! Besides having been used as a sample countless times by now by other artists,
'White Horse' is a textbook example of less-is-more when using synths - and, synth guitar (the very first Roland ones)!
This was done way before the introduction of sequencers, MIDI, etc.
Tech buffs note: TR-808, Rolands & Prophet V synths, GR synth and a lot of knob-twiddling, done live while recording but also in the mix.
The fact that 'White Horse' became a US hit didn't reflect back on Europe, though.
Only hardcore Laid Back buffs in Europe are aware of this track while 'Sunshine Reggae' routinely gets compilation requests
whenever a Summer songs multi-artist CD release is due."

"While Europe had 'Sunshine Reggae' as an A-side and 'White Horse' as a B-side to what was originally a double A-side single 7" release,
the US simply reversed it all. Sire Rec's and Seymour Stein had signed Laid Back up on the reputation of 'Sunshine Reggae'
but soon found out that 'White Horse' was hitting clubs. Next up was a 12", including a remix by Shep Pettibone,
that helped launch the then-nascent 12" DJ / Dance vinyl format. By now, 'White Horse' rivals the James Brown track 'Funky Drummer' in terms of sample uses."

"After 3 albums on Medley Records in Denmark, Laid Back switched to Munich-based Ariola, with 'Bakerman' as the first single for the album 'Hole in the Sky'.
The single became a huge hit in Germany and elsewhere in Europe and was propelled by a highly visual videoclip powerplayed on the likes of the MTV.
The clip deserves a special mention: it was conceived and directed by the acclaimed Danish film maker Lars von Trier,
that back in 1989 was Danish film's 'enfant terrible' and had only released one movie, 'The Element Of Crime'.
In the video, a group of skydivers impersonate a band playing the song while free-falling -
they had to have helpers to hand them a parachute before digging a hole in the ground!
It was very dangerous and highly unautorized; luckily, no one got arrested afterwards!
It was thus done in secret over a disused military airport in Jutland, Denmark.
'Bakerman' is also the only Laid Back single that features a guest vocalist - Hanne Boel, whose soulful voice graces this track."

- Highway of Love (Radio Edit) 3.57
- Raindrops in the Peace Pipe 5.06 (CD-maxi: 663 281)
"The follow-up to Laid Back's "Bakerman" was to be a breezy and nearly Pink Floydish ballad track, "Highway Of Love".
This was in a way a departure from the synth-laden funky rhythm style normally associated with them.
Again, Lars von Trier was enlisted to come up with a video idea... yet another crazy one like skydivers for "Bakerman".
He figured "if we split up the car trip from New York to San Francisco in individual camera frames-per-minutes and film it non-stop,
that's the video". The end result looks as if fast-forwarding a video tape!"

Official quote: "Dear Laid Back friends.
These tracks were recorded when the term chill-out music was coming into being.
Our record company back then thought the music was too different from our well-known style, but we found it perfect for relaxing and painting.
Actually we had begun painting pictures as a part of making music. But also as an excuse to get away from a music business giving us a hard time.
We found this music to be healing us and giving us pleasure.
Even though we got quite a positive feedback when it was the soundtrack for our painting exhibition at Galleri Projekt, Copenhagen 2001, these tracks went back on the shelf.
At the time, Laid Back was working on the album “Happy Dreamer” [released 2004], where “Slow Friday” and “Blue Lagoon” appears in different versions.
Recently we listened to the album again, and, like good wine, we believe it has only got better from being stored on a shelf for 15 years before being released.
We hope that you will enjoy listening to it. Cosmic Vibes from Laid Back. Copenhagen May 2011."

"Laid Back, still grooving after more than 30 years.
Way back in 1981, on the same night the "White Horse" groove was born and jammed onto an 8-track tape recorder, we also did some other recordings.
They were never completed and have stayed on the shelf ever since.
Recently, in the process of transferring old analog master tapes to digital, we came across those vetust 8-track tapes, and when listening again, we found the unused material quite up-to-date.
One of the unfinished grooves we consider musically being a brother to "White Horse" has now been completed by just adding bass and vocals. The lyrics for this track, written by Arthur Stander, go back to the same period of time and from a trip to Los Angeles trying to shop some songs... the coolness of the A/R guys there gave us the inspiration!
The poetic kinda rap lyrics have been played around with in various forms over the years. In 1985, an earlier version was included on the album "Play It Straight" as "CC Cool", but now here in 2010, we feel the lyrics have finally found their right groove. The track is called "Cocaine Cool", back to its original title.
Artistically, it has been quite satisfying to complete a 29-year old recording, still to find it sounding fresh and relevant to share with the World today. It also signals the dawn of a new era and more to come.
For now, we hope you will enjoy this track, along with our self-made video.
Good vibes from Laid Back.

"GETHIGH is a new track release from Laid Back. The lyrics may instantly lead your mind into thinking of euphoria drugs, but try to think about it in a broader contest, in a more universal way. We all want to get high whatever we do in life, in all walks of life, in spirits, sports, politics, showbusiness, all kind of business, in school and education and not to forget love.
Musically the groove is kept in the recognizable family of the horse, with an updated twist.
Actually the song was born in key of major, as a more rock guitar riff kinda song included in the package .
Also included is an ultra minimalistic version, mainly made on ipad.
Danish electronic musician and DJ Kasper Bjørke has done a really cool remix.
Finally we made a space mix, mainly for our own pleasure and for those who like to get out there and more into it.
A video is in the final editing stage, following the style of Beautiful Day and Cocaine Cool, with self made animation.
Music is more than a trendy sound and a fancy look. Laid Back is always going for something personal, original and timeless.
Copenhagen, September 2011."

"For a short period in 1981 and with brand-new equipment such as Roland 808, SH 101, GR 500, we made some 8-track “just for fun” jam tapes. Mainly just to experiment for our own pleasure. From those sessions, only “White Horse” made it to a final treatment. The rest of the material was left behind, as our record company at the time found it too “different". After “White Horse” being a track indeed defining our sound, we thought it would be interesting to dig out left-overs to fulfill a documentation of that period - crucial for us at the time. We were still innocent newcomers, without actually knowing to be creating a new sound! Recently, that left-over material was transferred from analogue to digital and, to stay as true as possible to original intentions, we only added vocals, bass and drumbeats ahead of a final mix. We hope that you will enjoy listening to it. Good Vibes from Laid Back"
