"(I Hang On To My) Vertigo" sits on Immunity, the 1981 solo album from British musician Rupert Hine, and the writing was a two-hander: Hine composed the music and Jeannette-Thérèse Obstoj wrote the lyrics. The title reads like a confession of clinging to the very thing that throws you off balance.
Immunity keeps interesting company elsewhere, with Marianne Faithfull stepping in for a brief chorus on "Misplaced Love", and Hine dedicated the record to Liam Byrne. The album was digitally remastered and reissued in 2001.
