A record peak (3)

I believe the answer is:

alp

'peak' is the definition.
(I know that alp is a type of peak)

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

I've seen this clue in The Independent and The Mirror.
