Band take album to engineer from Queen with sound system perhaps

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tape recorder

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

'engineer from queen with sound system perhaps' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'band take album' is the wordplay.
'band' becomes 'tape' (I've seen this before).
'take album' becomes 'recorder' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'tape'+'recorder'='TAPE-RECORDER'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tape recorder that I've seen before include "Machine for preserving sounds on cassette" , "Device for reproducing sound" , "Device to preserve sound" .)
