Chap gets record back (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

help

'back' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'chap gets record' is the wordplay.
'chap' becomes 'he'.
'gets' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'record' becomes 'lp' (L-P is an example).
'he'+'lp'='HELP'

(Other definitions for help that I've seen before include "Lend a hand" , "Contribute to the success of" , "Be of service" , "Beatles' album; assist" , "Support" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
