Background

edit

Marga Scheide accompanied by two vocalists Diana van Berlo and Michelle Gold reformed Luv' in 1989 and promoted new material released by the Dutch label Dureco/High Fashion Music.[1] Meanwhile, the group's first record company Philips/Phonogram Records and its sister label (Mercury Records) decided to repackage Luv's old repertoire. This led to the release of the Greatest Hits album. The album included Luv's successful hit singles, album songs and a bonus track: "Luv' Hitpack", a megamix conceived by the Dutch DJ-remixer-producer Peter Slaghuis. The strategy of Mercury Records to release this medley was inspired by the example of Boney M. whose megamix and remixes entered the European charts.

Commercial performance

edit

"Luv' Hitpack" did not enter any record chart due to a lack of promotion by the group.
