The 1986 best-of — sixteen tracks bookended by Lupin III Part 2 and Part 1, putting the more popular second series first.

"FIRE TREASURE" and "MANHATTAN JOKE" carry over from the theatrical films. "SONG OF BABYLON" from the Gold of Babylon movie. "SUPER HERO" delivers 80s vocal energy. The love songs dominate the middle section — "LOVE SQUALL," "LOVE IS EVERYTHING," "LOVIN' YOU."
Sixteen tracks representing the franchise's first two decades — before the TV specials era would massively expand the musical catalog. This 1986 collection captures Lupin's musical identity before the remix culture and jazz album series of the 90s and 2000s complicated things.
Pure, unremixed Lupin classics.
