You & The Explosion Band – Lupin The 3rd (Original Soundtrack)
Figured this was appropriate since I think Spencer had a few of these on the Transmission site from his recent Japan trip.
Lupin The Third ルパン三世 is a classic Japanese manga and anime series that follows the escapades of master thief Lupin III.
The soundtracks after the first season ~1978 and feature films are done by Yuji Ohno (You & The Explosion Band), there are at least 13 different LPs, I think I have 6 of em. The cover art is usually pretty great too.
They are all pretty funky, not that hard to find, and are usually moderately priced. On the radar of a lot of DJs, but I don't see much talk of them outside of that.

Lupin The 3rd - Zantetsuken
the drum breaks on this one are crazy and it has a good flute and guitar hook.

Sphynx - reminds me of a funked out slow jam of a Frizzi Beyond track.

Wild Crisis - disco funk

My Japanese copy seen below is on Columbia Records Japan. Not sure of the one in the YouTube video.
