Just We Two is the title of a recording by the Norrie Paramor and his Orchestra, released 1956 in Australia on Columbia LP record 330S-1076 and 1959 in the United States on Capitol LP record T10111.[1]
For this album Paramor used a smaller group of musicians than usual, but augmented the sound with a Hammond organ.[1] This "smaller group" still utliized sections of brass, woodwinds, and strings plus a harp and electric guitar.[1] The Age's record reviewer considered the recording to provide an understated, pleasant ambience that overcame poor material with deft arrangements.[1] Barbara Brawley of the Charlotte Observer called the album "frankly sentimental" but compared the album favorably with Paramor's previous releases as "excellent mood music."[2]
