Disrespect I found in recording (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lip

'disrespect' is the definition.
(lip is a kind of disrespect)

'i found in recording' is the wordplay.
'found in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'recording' becomes 'L-P' (L-P is an example).
'i' inserted inside 'lp' is 'LIP'.

(Other definitions for lip that I've seen before include "Fleshy fold of mouth tissue" , "sauciness" , "Sauce" , "Edge; impudent talk" , "Part of mouth or cheek" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
