Greatest Hits (1990 Luv' album)

Greatest Hits is a compilation album by Dutch girl group Luv' released by Mercury Records/Phonogram Records. It is the CD version of their 1979 Greatest Hits album which came out ten years earlier, including a bonus track: "Luv' Hitpack". It features hit singles scored in the charts between 1977 and 1979: "My Man", "U.O.Me", "You're the Greatest Lover", "Trojan Horse", "Casanova" and "Eeny Meeny Miny Moe". These songs originate from their first and second studio albums, With Luv' (1978) and Lots of Luv' (1979). The Phonogram years were the group's most successful ones in terms of chart performance as Luv' reached the Top 10 in a dozen of countries in the late 1970s.

Background

In 1989, Luv' was reformed with a line-up different from the original one. Meanwhile, Phonogram Records, the group's first label which held the copyright on the albums With Luv' (1978) and Lots of Luv' (1979) and the singles taken from them, decided to release a CD compilation. The record company chose a track listing close to a previous Greatest Hits (1979) LP that came out ten years earlier when the original Luv' trio was active.

A bonus song was added and released as a single: "Luv' Hitpack", a medley produced by Peter Slaghuis (a famous remixer of the European dance scene known thanks to his project Hithouse in the late 1980s).
