"This compact disc, includes music of Lupin The 3rd used in the first T.V. series. we tried to restore the music to it's original condition but since the original tapes have gone long time ago, we had no choice but copying from M.E. (Music & Effects) tapes. Consequently, you will hear sound effects in the music (cars, guns and actions, etc...) and we apologize that."

*notes from booklet:
Old Lupin master tapes were lost, restoration work from ME tapes of all 23 episodes (sound material tapes with only music and sound effects selected according to the scene, without dialogue), which are sound materials created in the production process of the work. There is a difference in the level of sound (loudness) in the parts where dialogue is inserted.
■Lupin Sansei Theme Song I■ opening theme (episodes 1~3)
Recorded as "Lupin III Part 2" from single
KU-620, title was changed later by Nippon Columbia as "Lupin III Part 1". Koji Makaino is the arranger for record version by Teichiku Records but is name was deleted after record exclusive distribution rights went to Nippon Columbia, so Takeo Yamashita was wrongly credited as the arranger. It is speculated that Takeo Yamashita was the arranger for TV original size as first version produced.

(50) from episode 3, motorcycle SE before the song. Recorded as "Lupin III Part 1" from single
