Two artists sharing the same two producers on two separate records?

For research!, I need sets of 4 albums, 2 albums each by 2 artists. Each album pair is individually produced by the same two producers, i.e.

artist0 - album0 - producer0
artist0 - album1 - producer1
artist1 - album2 - producer0
artist1 - album3 - producer1

The only example I have right now is:

Peter Gabriel - III/melt - Steve Lillywhite
Peter Gabriel - IV/security - David Lord
XTC - Black Sea - Steve Lillywhite
XTC - Big Express - David Lord

But there's got to be more. I'm thinking Neptunes/Timbaland or Brion/Froom or something? Bonus points if the producers had obvious effects on both artists' resultant sound for that album.

Jack Douglas produced:

Aerosmith - Toys in the Attic (plus loads of their 70's albums)
John Lennon - Double Fantasy

George Martin produced:

Aerosmith - Come Together
Beatles - almost the lot, including "Come Together"

butch vig: nirvana - nevermind
steve albini: nirvana - in utero

butch vig: killdozer - snakeboy
steve albini: killdozer - god hears the pleas of the innocent

Well, the George Martin/Jack douglas thing isn't perfect but it's close. "Come Together" is a pretty hardcore Lennon tune after all. I think the experts in George Martin/Phil Spector/Glyn Johns etc. might come up with a real match.

This is a fuckin' difficult one. This one is true but in Elvis's case he didn't produce them all himself.

Elvis Costello produced (Some of)
Paul McCartney - Flowers in the Dirt
Elvis Costello - Kojak Variety (and others no doubt)

Geoff Emerick Produced

Wings - Band on the Run
Elvis Costello - Imperial Bedrooms

cale - marble index
john wood - cool for cats
john wood - desertshore (engineer - cale was the producer...)
