LATITUDE 88 NORTH

Jeff Lynne: "Latitude 88 North was a song that I could never finish. I had about 4 different sets of words that I was working on. I remember the first ones I sang were about a rock ’n’ roll singer called Johnny. It was nearly right but not quite.

When I first sang the Latitude 88 North words Richard thought it sounded like a travel documentary. He was right, it was all frozen wastes and howling winds.

20 years later I dug it out of the vault and immediately came up with the answer…All I had to do was sing “It’s Like” in front of "Latitude 88 North" and it all made sense."
