[edit] Album history

After achieving success on the Dutch and Flemish charts (with the singles My Man and U.O.Me) and on the European hitlists (with the single You're the Greatest Lover), Philips Records/Phonogram decided to release Luv's first full-lenghth studio album: With Luv'.
The production of this opus was supervised by Hans van Hemert, with the help from Piet Souer. Van Hemert and Souer co-wrote all the album's tracks under the pseudonym Janschen & Janschens. The arrangements of this first opus were inspired by the music styles that were popular in the mainstream music market in the late 1970s: the ABBA repertoire (especially with My Man and Dream, Dream), Carnival and Latin American music sounds (with U.O.Me (Theme from Waldolala) and Don Juanito De Carnaval, the cover version of A far l'amore comincia tu, the 1977 hit of Raffaella Carrà), Disco music (with Everybody's Shaking Hands On Broadway) and Pop music (with compositions like You're the Greatest Lover, Who Do You Wanna Be...).

[edit] Chart performance

Luv' was more successful on the singles charts (at a time when it was significant for the music industry) than on the album charts because the trio's first public was mainly composed in the late 1970s by teenagers (known to be vinyl singles buyers).
With Luv' reached the platinum status in the Netherlands and the gold status in Austria and Denmark.
