"Two Days Away" is an album by Elkie Brooks.

Background

Brooks' breakthrough second album, released in 1977, propelled her into solo stardom in the UK and Europe. Featuring 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 legendary writers and producers Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. It remains one of Brooks' finest albums and despite the inclusion of hit songs and its lengthy chart residency it has only ever been released on CD as a double CD paired with the compilation album "Pearls" released by A&M in 1992. "Two Days Away" was also released by A&M in 1981 on a double chromdioxid cassette (CAM CR003) paired with "Live and Learn" (1979).
