Rare Lupin Flexi disc radio drama

So last night, I was hyperfixating, looking at Lupin merch on google image when I stumbled upon a record cover which I thought was interesting.

Turns out, this is a sorta Radio drama released in 1972 on a Flexi Disc (also known as Sonosheet) based on Episode 2 of Part 1. (VGMDB LINK). It's also comparable to Record-and-Book sets since it includes a 12 page artwork writing out the story with the artwork done by Monkey Punch. People around my age might know of Read along Disney stories that came with a Cassette tapes and a picture book, it's pretty similar to that (sadly no when you hear this sound turn the page)

Besides the sonosheet, it was also released as a CD, but it's still pretty rare to find. I only find two videos online with the recording. One was a MMD video which only used part of it and one YT video that shares the whole Drama part with pictures. There is also this page that transcribes the whole drama and includes all the artwork (sadly, it doesn't allow the pictures to be saved)

Anyway, this is super obscure Lupin media that I'm not sure many western fans know about. I almost thought it wasn't archived on online at first. So this thread will help preserve it.

According to this tweet, you could get the cd of this if you had ordered all of the part 1 DVDs that came out in Japanese around 2018, so even the cd could be rare since you couldn't just buy it without buying a whole set of DVDs.

Maybe did a bit of internet witchcraft to save these images. The album has all the images! All credit goes to the site and you should check it out for the transcription still!
