LP version. Tip-on sleeve; includes download card and original four-page insert with lyrics and line-up. Wewantsounds continues their Akiko Yano reissue program with the release of Japanese Girl, her landmark debut album from 1976. Backed by Little Feat with Lowell George and by top Japanese musicians (including Haruomi Hosono), Japanese Girl is one of the most important Japanese albums of the '70s, mixing pop, rock, and Japanese folk together with Little Feat's superb classic sound. After a marriage with musician/producer Makoto Yano and the birth of her son (Fuuta), Yano and her team resumed the recording of the album and decided to pitch Little Feat for a collaboration as she loved the group. Against all odds they said yes and Yano left Tokyo for Los Angeles in March 1976 to record a full side with them. The legend has it they found it so difficult to keep up with Yano's compositions they returned some of their fee. The session was nevertheless stunning and Lowell George even compared Yano to Stevie Wonder. The Little Feat blend of New Orleans groove matched Yano's melodies perfectly, as witnessed on "Funamachi-Uta Part ". Originally a traditional song from The Nebuta Festival in her hometown of Aomori, the Little Feat version is a formidable slow-funk workout not dissimilar to their classic, "Spanish Moon", serving Yano's beautiful vocals and sense of groove to perfection. The whole side is a match made in heaven, showcasing the classic Little Feat line up at their funkiest with Yano's unique Japanese twist. The Japanese side on the album gives a great snapshot of the Tokyo music scene of the '70s with many musicians gravitating around Haruomi Hosono and also several musicians from Japanese band, The Moonriders. Recorded at the legendary Onkyo Haus studio in Tokyo, the sessions mix singer-songwriter sensitivity and pop with traditional Japanese sounds and instruments like the shinobue transverse flute, the koto string instrument, or the Tsuzumi hand drum as played on "Hekoriputaa" by the legendary percussionist Kisaku Katada who was appointed Living National Treasure by the Japanese state in 1999; together they create a beautiful east-meets-west mix masterfully driven by Yano's creativity and unique talent. First international release. Remastered sound.

Outlet extender
I love this product. Work great behind my couch so i don't have to leave a gap between the wall and couch. Very sturdy, and stable. Holds plugs in place.

Exelent choice no more hinging cables
I recently purchased the EZ Outlet Electrical Outlet Extender, and it has been a total game-changer for my home. I have a few outlets behind furniture and in tight corners that are almost impossible to use, and this product solved that problem instantly.
The extender itself feels very sturdy and well-made. The most useful feature is the flexible, gooseneck-like arm that lets you bend the outlet away from the wall. This allowed me to easily plug in my lamp and a few other devices that were previously unreachable.
I also love the extra ports. The two regular AC outlets, a USB-A port, and a USB-C port are incredibly convenient. It's great to be able to charge my phone and my laptop from the same spot without needing a separate charging block. The USB-C port is particularly fast, which is a huge bonus.
Setup was as easy as plugging it in. There's no complicated wiring or anything to deal with. It's a simple, elegant solution that works exactly as advertised. If you have any hard-to-reach outlets in your home, I highly recommend this product. It's well worth the investment.

Looks good, adjustability is super nice
This is attractive (for what it is) and is working well, I really like the adjustability - the only downside so far is that the USB ports are on the underside where I'm using it, so are basically unusable on a regular basis unless you want to leave a cable dangling from it, tho if you had it run up or to the right from the outlet, that wouldn't be a factor.

Its Quality
I absolutely love this! It’s a life changer for me as I’m always pulling the cord out from the wall in the attempt to stretch it. This now sits plug now sits perfectly between my bed and the wall. Excellent quality, easy to plug in and makes my life easier!

Nice length and looks good
Bought two different types/brands of outlet extenders, overall I like this better out of the two when it comes to looks and functionality. This one you plug it in then rotate the outlet to the spot you need. One adhesive pad holds it in place easily due to light weight and trim materials. You can still plug something else in the wall outlet, this only takes up one of the outlets. It would be great if they added usb plugs to this like the other one.
