Greatest Hits is a compilation album by Dutch girl group Luv' by Philips/Phonogram Records. It was rush-released in 1979 a few weeks after the formation had left Philips to sign a record deal with the labels CNR/Carrere Records. It features hit singles scored in the charts between 1977 and 1979: My Man, U.O.Me, You're the Greatest Lover, Trojan Horse, Casanova and Eeny Meeny Miny Moe. These songs were originally released in their first and second studio albums (With Luv' and Lots Of Luv'). The Philips/Phonogram years were the group's most successful ones in terms of chart performance.

Soon after Luv's transfer to CNR/Carrere Records, Phonogram Records, the group's first label, decided to counterattack by releasing a compilation. In 1979, the Dutch girl trio had become popular in a short time (two years only after its debut) in Benelux, German-speaking countries, Denmark, South Africa and New Zealand. Hit singles like You're the Greatest Lover and Trojan Horse were million sellers. The female group was Holland's best export act and thus received the Conamus Export Prize.
The Greatest Hits album features the song Who Do You Wanna Be (originally released in Luv's first LP). It was only available in the Netherlands without the consent of Luv' producer Hans van Hemert.
