 | | It had been Paramor's original intent to sign Richard as a solo act, backed by the Ken Jones Orchestra, but The Shadows impressed him sufficiently with their clean, professional sound, the tightness of their playing with Richard, and their serious attitude toward music to keep the group together as a performing and recording unit. |
 | | Rather, he was a careful arranger and professional musician, and a sympathetic listener who helped the group and Richard achieve a level of polish on their records--without costing them any excitement in their playing--that made them the envy of millions of British listeners. |
 | | While their millions of sales were later eclipsed by the success of the Beatles, Paramor still added significantly to the company's fate and furtunes, and English popular culture, with his discovery of the group. |
