A record height (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alp

'height' is the definition.
(as in the Alps - height can mean something high)

'a record' is the wordplay.
'record' becomes 'L-P' (abbreviation for long play record).
'a'+'lp'='ALP'

(Other definitions for alp that I've seen before include "Mountain pasture" , "high point" , "Swiss mountain" , "One of a European mountain range" , "Mont Blanc, for example" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, The Times and the Evening Standard.
