Cancel recording in genuine circumstances (6)
I believe the answer is:
repeal
'cancel' is the definition.
(I know that repeal is a type of cancel)
'recording in genuine circumstances' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'recording' could be 'ep' (extended play vinyl record) and 'ep' is present in the answer.
'genuine' could be 'real' (similar in meaning) and 'real' is found in the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for repeal that I've seen before include "Annul, rescind" , "'Annul, revoke (6)'" , "Annul by legislative action" , "Cancel officially, annul" , "This is what O'Connell wanted" .)
