Luv' Hitpack

Luv' Hitpack is the seventeenth single by Dutch girl group Luv' released in 1989 by Mercury Records/Phonogram Records and is a Megamix conceived by Peter Slaghuis. It appears on the compilation Greatest Hits and the German anthology You're the Greatest LUVer. The long version of this medley is included as a bonus track on the Box set Completely In Luv'.

Song History

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 Fahion Music. Meanwhile, the group's first record company Philips Records/Phonogram Records and its sister label (Mercury Records) decided to repackage Luv's old repertoire. That's why a "Greatest Hits" album came out, including successful chart toppers, album songs and a bonus track: Luv' Hitpack, a megamix conceived by the Dutch DJ-remixer-producer Peter Slaghuis. Slaghuis is known for the 1985 hit Woodpeckers from Space by Video Kids, the 1988 hit Jack To the Sound of the Underground by Hithouse and the numerous remixes he did for world famous acts: Nu Shooz, Madonna, Petula Clark, Technotronic, Mel & Kim...
The strategy of Mercury Records to release this medley was inspired by the example of Boney M. whose megamix and remixes topped the European charts.
