Alt Altitude

Needle Mythology, the label founded by music writer, author and broadcaster Pete
Paphides, is proud to announce the very first vinyl release of Altitude – the collaborative
album by ALT, an ad hoc trio of kindred spirits comprising Andy White, Liam Ó Maonlaí
(Hothouse Flowers) and Tim Finn (Split Enz/Finn/Crowded House).
ALT came together in Dublin when Tim Finn stayed at the flat shared by Andy White and
Liam Ó Maonlaí. After cementing their friendship, the three decamped to Tim’s studio in
Melbourne, where the songs on Altitude were recorded.
All the instruments on Altitude were played by White, Ó Maonlaí and Finn. The album was
originally released on CD in 1995.
This deluxe reissue of Altitude has been remastered by Miles Showell at Abbey Road
Studios and pressed onto 2 x 180g vinyl at The Vinyl Factory.
The newly remastered version of Altitude features five additional bonus tracks from the
original sessions. Three songs are previously unreleased in any form. The remaining two
were available on the 1995 Japanese CD release.
