Two Days Away

Two Days Away is the second studio album by English singer Elkie Brooks, released in 1977.

Background
Brooks' breakthrough second album, released in 1977, propelled her into solo stardom in the UK and Europe. Including the top ten hits "Pearl's a Singer" and "Sunshine After the Rain", it had a distinct American sound largely due to the work of writers and producers Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. It has since been released on CD, paired with its predecessor ''Rich Man's Woman''. ==Single releases==
