Appear holding disc with this country record (7)
I believe the answer is:
logbook
'record' is the definition.
(logbook is a kind of record)
'appear holding disc with this country' is the wordplay.
'appear' becomes 'look' (synonyms).
'holding' indicates putting letters inside.
'disc' becomes 'O' (disc-shaped letter).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'this country' becomes 'GB' (Great Britain).
'o' after 'gb' is 'gbo'.
'look' going around 'gbo' is 'LOGBOOK'.
(Other definitions for logbook that I've seen before include "Former vehicle document" , "Car owner's document" , "Where details of voyages are written" , "Vehicle registration document" , "Incident-recording volume" .)
