Coldplay's first album includes one film passage (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

clip

'film passage' is the definition.
(a clip can be a section or passage of film)

'coldplay's first album includes one' is the wordplay.
'first' indicates taking the first letters.
'album' becomes 'lp' (abbreviation for a long-play record).
'includes' indicates putting letters inside.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral**).
The first letter of 'coldplay' is 'c'.
'lp' placed around 'i' is 'lip'.
'c'+'lip'='CLIP'

(Other definitions for clip that I've seen before include "Cut with shears" , "Device for holding papers together" , "Piece of film etc" , "Short film extract; fasten" , "Film segment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
