"Completely In Luv"' is a box set of four studio albums recorded by Dutch girl group Luv' during their heyday in the late 1970s and early 1980s: With Luv', Lots Of Luv', True Luv' and Forever Yours. It was released in April 2006 by Universal Music. It features Luv's greatest hits scored in a dozen of countries (like You're the Greatest Lover, Trojan Horse, Casanova and Ooh, Yes I Do), album songs, bonus tracks and remixes.The repertoire including in this box set was originally released as the female formation reached its peak. In 1979, Luv' was Holland's best export act and thus received the Conamus Export Prize in 1979 [ [http://www.bumacultuur.nl/nl/page/activiteiten/prijzen] - List of the Conamus Export Prize winners; Conamus (currently: Buma Cultuur) is an organisation which promotes Dutch music artists abroad.

"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 docusoap ("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 May 26th, 27th and 28th 2006, Luv' and Bobby Farrell (of Boney M) were the guest stars during three big shows of the Toppers"' (a supergroup featuring with three popular singers in the Holland: Gerard Joling, René Froger and Gordon) in the Amsterdam ArenA.
