Cries out for the old-fashioned vinyl records (5)
I believe the answer is:
yelps
'cries out' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'the old-fashioned vinyl records' is the wordplay.
'the old-fashioned' becomes 'ye' (resembles a historical spelling of 'the').
'vinyl records' becomes 'LPs' (LP or long play is a type of vinyl record).
'ye'+'lps'='YELPS'
'for' is the link.
(Another definition for yelps that I've seen is " Calls briefly".)
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
