Lots of Luv' is the second album by Dutch girl group Luv', released in May 1979 by Philips Records/Phonogram. It features the hit singles Casanova (a Top 10 song in a large part of Continental Europe) and Eeny Meeny Miny Moe, which maintained Luv's position as the best Dutch export act of 1979. In 2006, this LP was reissued in digitally remastered form by Universal Music Netherlands as part of the Completely in Luv' box set and featured the popular chart topper "Trojan Horse".

Background

In the second half of 1978, Luv' reached fame in a large part of Europe and South Africa thanks to the success of smash hits like "You're the Greatest Lover", "Trojan Horse" and the With Luv' album. The release party of the second LP (entitled Lots of Luv') took place at the Lido Club in Amsterdam in May 1979. Two songs from this opus were released as singles: "Casanova" and "Eeny Meeny Miny Moe" (inspired by Boney M.'s 1978 song "Rasputin"). After the release of the 1978 With Luv**, the producers and songwriters Hans van Hemert and Piet Souer (under the pseudonym **Janschen & Janschens') teamed up once again to supervise the recording and the production of Lots of Luv, influenced by Pop music, Disco and Latin American music sounds.

Charts

Because Luv's public was composed by a majority of teenagers at the time of the release of Lots of Luv', the group's singles/performance (sales) fared more significant than the albums. In the late 1970s, 45-RPM vinyl records were popular formats among the young public whereas the full-length LP's attracted more adult listeners. This situation explains why Luv' achieved a greater success on the singles charts than on the album lists. Lots of Luv' reached platinum status in the Netherlands.
