25 Jaar Na Waldolala


25 Jaar Na Waldolala is a compilation album of recordings by Dutch pop group Luv' released by Universal Music in the Netherlands in 2003. It features smash hits, Spanish versions of four songs, previously unreleased tracks on CD and solo recordings by José Hoebee and Marga Scheide.

History

The two-disc compilation which celebrated the 25th anniversary of the release of breakthrough single "U.O.Me (Theme from Waldolala)" was a co-production between Universal Music Netherlands and the Luv' Fan Club in association with Hans van Hemert productions and CNR label. This anthology was inspired by three Dutch greatest hits albums of other major pop acts from the 1970s: ABBA's 25 Jaar na Waterloo, Pussycat's 25 Jaar na Mississippi and
Boney M.'s 25 Jaar Na Daddy Cool.
This double CD contains eleven tracks from the Philips/Phonogram back catalogue as well as twenty songs from the CNR/Carrere catalogue. Luv's repertoire, composed by Hans van Hemert and Piet Souer, was a mixture of Pop music, Disco, Latin American music sounds and Schlager.
In addition to digitally remastered songs, the following bonus tracks were added:
Patty Brard was not involved in this album project as she was then in conflict with the producers and the members of Luv'. A DVD was supposed to come out simultaneously with the double CD. However, Brard vetoed this video collection because of her right of publicity. Fans would have to wait April 2006 to get a long-awaited DVD released after the reconciliation between the ladies.
25 Jaar Na Waldolala was publicly presented in October 2003 by Hans van Hemert, Will Hoebee and two Luv' girls, José Hoebee and Ria Thielsch.
