Mr. Lover Lover: The Best of Shaggy...Part 1 is the first compilation album released by the Jamaican singer Shaggy. The album includes material from Shaggy's first five studio albums, as well as the new recording, "Get Up, Stand Up".
Background
Origins for the album date back to March 1999, as some sites report that an album, titled the Ultimate Shaggy Collection, was released on March 23, 1999. The album included material from Shaggy's first four studio albums, as well as the original version of "Luv Me, Luv Me", which featured Janet Jackson, and three new songs—"The Reggae Virus", featuring Mad Lion and KRS One, "True Dat" and "Hot Gal". However, no copies of the album ever appear to have been released.
In January 2002, Mr. Lover Lover, a similar compilation, was announced for release in both Europe and the United States. However, despite carrying artwork stating the title Mr. Lover Lover, some American sites listed the compilation under the title Ultimate Shaggy Collection. According to Amazon.com, the American version of Mr. Lover Lover was once again intended to include material from Shaggy's first four albums, the original version of "Luv Me, Luv Me", and three new tracks—"The Reggae Virus", "Better Not Be" and "Hot Gal". The European version did not include these three new tracks. However, when the album was released on January 29, 2002, both the European and American versions of the album had an identical track listing, neither containing the three brand new tracks.
Since the release of Mr. Lover Lover, all listings of the original Ultimate Shaggy Collection released in 1999 have included the artwork from the American version of Mr. Lover Lover. As far as can be seen, only one issue of the album was ever released—with the track listing below—and neither the Ultimate Shaggy Collection nor the American special issue of Mr. Lover Lover were ever released. The album entered the top 10 on the UK Albums Chart. On March 24, 2003, Mr. Lover Lover was reissued under the title The Essential Shaggy. The track listing did not differ.
