With Luv'

With Luv' is the first album by the Dutch girl group Luv', released in August 1978 by Phonogram/Philips Records. It includes the hit singles "My Man" (the trio's first record), "U.O.Me" (Luv's breakthrough in Benelux) and the million-seller "You're the Greatest Lover (a #1 song in a large part of Continental Europe). A German pressing of this album features Trojan Horse", a successful European chart topper. In 2006, this LP was reissued in digitally remastered form by Universal Music Netherlands as part of the Completely In Luv' box set.

Background

After achieving success on the Dutch and Flemish charts (with the singles "My Man" and "U.O.Me") and on the European hit lists (with the single "You're the Greatest Lover"), Phonogram/Philips Records decided to release Luv's first full-length studio album: With Luv'.

Production was supervised by Hans van Hemert with the help of Piet Souer. Van Hemert and Souer co-wrote all the album's tracks under the pseudonym Janschen & Janschens with the exception of "Don Juanito de Carnaval" (a cover version of Raffaella Carrà's 1977 hit, "A far l'amore comincia tu"). The arrangements of the album were inspired by the music styles that were popular on the mainstream music market in the late 1970s: the ABBA-esque repertoire (especially with "My Man" and "Dream, Dream"), carnival, Spanish and Latin American music sounds (with "U.O.Me" and "Don Juanito De Carnaval"), disco music (with "Everybody's Shaking Hands On Broadway") and pop music (with compositions like "You're the Greatest Lover" and "Who Do You Wanna Be").

Luv' was a Dutch female pop trio that scored a string of hit records in Continental Europe (Benelux, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, France, Denmark) as well as South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Mexico in the late 1970s and early 1980s. This girl group consisted of Patty Brard, José Hoebee and Marga Scheide. In 1979, Luv' was "Holland's best export act" and thus received the "Conamus Export Prize".

The band sold more than seven million records worldwide (singles and albums). Among their greatest hits were: U.O.Me (Welcome To Waldolala), You're the Greatest Lover, Trojan Horse, Casanova and Ooh, Yes I Do. The formation went through line-up changes and the original singers reunited several times. They had a hectic schedule between 2006 and 2008. They gave their final performance on August 11, 2012 in Spaarnwoude at the Dutch Valley Festival. Two members of the pop act have had a successful solo career in their homeland: Patty as a TV personality and José as a vocalist.
