What is the original year it's from? I have three Lupin albums from the late 90s with tracks by UFO, DJ Mitsu & other popular Japanese DJ/Producers, but these are remix projects.
(would like to know who did the original tracks)
Only place I've ever seen these is Ebay - saw a 7" there too.
Reckon these probably crop up in Japan quite often. . . search for Lupin at popsike and apparently a 4LP limited box set of the Lupin music sold for $150 recentlyish.
Hmm. Actually there is a copy of Lupin 3 on recordkingz.com - but it's £75.00. Ouch. . .
If you go to amazon.co.jp and search for "Lupin" you can see that quite a few of these are out on CD too. Might do as a filler. . .
yeah the recordkingz lp is what sparked an old flame in me.
i feel the same way about their price, actually all of their pricing. It's should be more like take their price, change it to a u.s. dollar sign, and then divide that by two.
i managed to snatch the two on the bay just today, although one is just dialogue, from what i've come to understand.
it's so pathetic,
i went to sleep to "castle of cagliostro" last night too.
also,
if anyone has daisy daze and the bumblebeez- planet o, 7"
or their lp (?)
i'd be interested.
One of the LPs I have is by Yuji Ohno, but it's not from the 70s alas. It's from 2001 and is part of a four LP series issued from 99 onwards. (mine is called Lupinistic)
Has a 60s jazz feel to it, along with a nice bossa & library style track as well.
Which one's did you bag yourself recently?
Send me a PM in a week and a half (when hopefully it should have arrived) and I'll give you a review of it. If it is partciularly bad then I'll sell it to you for what I paid.
I think your best means of finding this LP is still going to
ebay->records then searching for "Lupin".
I'm sure one will crop up soon again.
i scored a 7" of the theme. what exactly it is, i'm not sure. (the series released upwards of 40 different 7's)
the other record is dialogue from the motion picture "castle of cagliostro", the dialogue one. i'm hoping some of the incidental music is wedged in between the japanese dialogue!
Hey Vivachiba,
i'm definitely down for cash if you don't like it (but something tells me you will )
i see why i didn't catch it- i was just checking music, not collectables!!!
beware- as now i'm on the case!!!!
No worries Lambert. Actually when I listened to the soundclips it sounded a little cheesy. . . maybe still worth keeping for that price though.
So is this LP the first feature length Lupin movie ?? The IMDB filmography is a little unclear to me. It also shows that the Lupin series kicked off in the early 70's. . .so if there was any TV soundtrack of that released it'd probably be better than the LP I've scored.
if you guys are into the shows at all, check the "secret of mamao" movie. I've seen a few of them and this was the most entertaining, so far.
I got the LP today, looks pretty good. Will listen to it later. . .
See that there are currently 3 Lupin 7" up on the 'Bay. . .one of them - it has Lupin Theme / Love Theme on it - I'm guessing is probably from that record I bagged.
Ok, I listened to the LP It's okish . . .a bit too late really. It all feels a little too slick at times, and as it's got so much horn stuff on it. . feels a bit "Kenny G!". There are also one or two vocal tracks (including the Lupin theme).
According to the sleeve it appears to be the TV series music. . given that it was issued in 1978, it's obviously from the second run of the series that you mentioned in your earlier post (from 1976 onward).
However it's mainly all-instrumental. .. a few of the tracks have spoken work intros, which is a nice touch. They made my wife laugh too. . .
DEFINITELY not worth £75, but OK at the price I found it for. I really think you'll have to wait for this to appear for a bargain price again, or else you might be disappointed!
