A record height for Europe (3)

I believe the answer is:

alp

'height for europe' is the definition.
(the Alps are a European mountain range)

'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" , "Mont Blanc, for example" , "One of a European mountain range" , "Swiss mountain" , "high point" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
