Love and Kisses is the debut album by Australian dancepop singer Dannii Minogue. It was released by MCA Records on June 3, 1991 in Europe. The album was primarily produced by Alvin Moody and Vincent Bell. It received a mixed reception from music critics and became Minogue's most-successful album release, reaching number eight in the United Kingdom, where it was certified Gold. Outside of the United Kingdom, the album was released under the title Dannii in Australia and featured a slightly different track listing. It was also successful on the Australian album charts, and reached number 24. In Japan, it was released released under the name Party Jam, after a song included on the album.

In November 1991, Love and Kisses was remixed and repackaged as Love and Kisses and... worldwide. The re-issue featured four extra 12" remixes, with the remix of "I Don't Want to Take This Pain" being unqiue to the release. This remix would be more suited for inclusion on her 2nd album "Get Into You", as it is very mature. In the UK it sold 60,000 copies, and charted at number forty-two. In Australia, the re-issue did not perform as well, reaching a low number ninety-eight on the albums chart.
