Album history

Completely in Luv is a concept developed by René Moonen, founder of the official fan club of Luv' in association with H.J.M Productions (the production company of Hans van Hemert, the producer who conceived the girl group) and the CNR label. Its release coincided with the reunion of the original group members Patty Brard, José Hoebee and Marga Scheide. The pop trio had a busy schedule in 2006 in the Netherlands and Flanders (Belgium). In addition to the box set, a reality TV documentary, Back in Luv, about their comeback was broadcast on RTL 5 (a Dutch TV channel) and on VTM (a Flemish channel) and a DVD (also entitled Back in Luv') came out.

On 26, 27 and 28 May 2006, Luv' and Bobby Farrell (of Boney M) were the guest stars during three big shows of De Toppers (a supergroup featuring three popular singers in the Netherlands: Gerard Joling, René Froger and Gordon) at the Amsterdam ArenA.[3] Moreover, Luv' was booked for many appearances on TV and live performances.
