'''''With Luv'''''' is the first [[album]] by the Dutch [[girl group]] [[Luv']], released in August 1978 by [[Phonogram Records|Phonogram]]/[[Philips Records]]. It includes the hit singles "[[My Man (Luv' song)|My Man]]" (the trio's first record), "[[U.O.Me (Theme from Waldolala)|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]]). Some pressings of this album includes "[[Trojan Horse (Luv' song)|Trojan Horse]]",<ref>[http://www.discogs.com/Luv-With-Luv/release/2563638 Details about German pressing], ''Discogs''. Retrieved March 26, 2011.</ref> 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 of 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 musical 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]]").
'''''With Luv'''''' is the first [[album]] by Dutch girl group [[Luv']], released in August 1978 by [[Phonogram Records|Phonogram]]/[[Philips Records]]. It includes the hit singles [[My Man (Luv' song)|My Man]] (the trio's debut record), [[U.O.Me (Theme from Waldolala)|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]]). The German version of this album features [[Trojan Horse (Luv' song)|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

[edit]

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 of 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 musical 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").

The album release party took place at Hilversum Airport on 21 August 1978.[2]
