2 of a Kind

One of the great jazz trumpeters of all time, Freddie Hubbard formed his sound out of the Clifford Brown/Lee Morgan tradition, and by the early '70s was immediately distinctive and the pacesetter in jazz. However, a string of blatantly commercial albums later in the decade damaged his reputation and, just when Hubbard, in the early '90s (with the deaths of Dizzy Gillespie and Miles Davis), seemed perfectly suited for the role of veteran master, his chops started causing him serious troubles.

Two Of A Kind was a comparatively low-key affair by Chain's standards. Of the four cuts featuring Madison and Beauford from Muddy's band, only the title track (written by Madison) and Little Walter's "Blues With A Feeling" provide any real excitement, despite the typically robust backing that Chain supplies. And some observers at the time found "Elephant" tediously self-indulgent. The album sold in only moderate numbers and by the time of its release in December, Chain had undergone further personnel shifts, Little Goose being the first to leave. He went on to considerable success with the Kevin Borich Express and later formed his own eponymous outfit. His replacement, Tony Lunt, was formerly drummer for Carson and Alta Mira, and he brought his bandmate, the in-demand keyboardist Mal Logan with him.

Two of a Kind is the soundtrack from the movie of the same name, released on 1983, on MCA Records and features songs by film's star Olivia Newton-John, as well as songs from various other artists.

It is hard to find a name amongst all those that over the last 30 years have left their mark in the history of rock that has not utilized Don Airey's keyboard skills at some point. The list includes: Ozzy Osbourne, RAINBOW, WHITESNAKE, JUDAS PRIEST, Gary Moore, Brian May, JETHRO TULL, BLACK SABBATH and obviously: DEEP PURPLE, the band of which Airey has been a full-time member for over 15 years!

4 of a Kind is the fourth album by the American crossover thrash band D.R.I., which was released in 1988. This album marks the debut of an entirely thrash metal sound for the band, with less traces of their early thrashcore sound.

This Soundtrack not only has a fantastic duet of John and Olivia, titled "Take A Chance" but it also has what I think to be one of the best singles from Journey titled "Ask The Lonely". David Foster adds his talents as does Chicago.
This Soundtrack Rated #26 in the US Nov.'83,
The single- Twist Of Fate b/w Take a chance placed #5 in the US Nov.'83 as well as #57 in the UK Oct. '83.
Livin' In Desperate Times placed #31 in the US Feb.'84.
Shakin' You was not released as a single but is an awesome song and a great addition to the soundtrack as well as to Olivia's Love Song's. [ olivianewtonjohn.us ~ Chart Info ~ Biography ~ Discography ~ Singles and more.. ]
John and Olivia duet ranks up there with their 1978 duets. Perfect for the collectors. A Must have for ALL Olivia Newton-John fans!

In “Two of a Kind”, Leora Eisen searches for answers, meeting researchers and identical twins from Montreal to Melbourne. Along the way, she discovers a radical new concept: the differences between identical twins, rather than the similarities, are now causing scientists to rethink genetics and the old nature vs. nurture debate.
