Bring out record and fail to achieve success (8)
I believe the answer is:
disclose
'bring out' is the definition.
(disclosing is a kind of bringing out)
'record and fail to achieve success' is the wordplay.
'record' becomes 'disc' (eg a CD, compact disc).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'fail to achieve success' becomes 'lose' (fail to win or succeed).
'disc'+'lose'='DISCLOSE'
(Other definitions for disclose that I've seen before include "Announce" , "Divulge, reveal" , "Report" , "Is closed in order to expose to view" , "Uncover" .)
