Hooray!
Managed to snag myself a copy of the 2nd volume of Lupin III music from the Red Jacket series during it's 1979 year. Now I shall have all 3.

And this one was undoubtedly the hardest one to obtain, only because it took forever before a decent price showed up. Every one of these is either $45, $36, $52, $60, and so on and so on. But the 3rd soundtrack from 1980 can be bought on CD, even now, for only $23 dollars or so. So I'm not sure what makes this one so damn expensive.
But some Japanese seller was nice enough not to be greedy and was only selling this beauty for $11 bucks. But of course I wanted to be safe and get the insured shipping, so it came to a sturdy $32.99. And I'm sure we're all pretty used to paying about that much for our Lupin music.


I still don't get why we can't just get these on Amazon MP3 or I-tunes, it just doesn't make sense to me. Why is it that some Japanese songs are available, and most other music is downloadable, but most of the Japanese soundtracks you have to import on CDs? Who honestly buys CDs anymore? Well I still do, and of course I collect records, but I'm starting to convert to only MP3s, so the question still stands.
