taped

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'as recorded' is the definition.
'taped' can be an answer for 'recorded' (similar in meaning). I am not sure about the 'as' bit.

'ted's out to get pa upset' is the wordplay.
'out' means to remove the last letter.
'to get' indicates putting letters inside.
'upset' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'pa' back-to-front is 'ap'.
'teds' with its final letter taken away is 'ted'.
'ted' going around 'ap' is 'TAPED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for taped that I've seen before include "recorded" , "put on record" , "Bound" , "On record; tied up" .)
