Crossword Genius

Capone's behind collection of songs (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

album

'collection of songs' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'capone's behind' is the wordplay.
'capone' becomes 'Al' (gangster Al Capone).
'behind' becomes 'bum' (synonyms).
'al'+'bum'='ALBUM'

(Other definitions for album that I've seen before include "Vinyl collectible" , "Blank book for keeping stamps, photographs etc" , "Book for organising photographs" , "Collection of photographs" , "Long-playing record" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
