Explosive record with Queen's supporters (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

helpers

'supporters' is the definition.
('helper' can be a synonym of 'supporter')

'explosive record with queen's' is the wordplay.
'explosive' becomes 'he' (abbreviation for high explosive).
'record' becomes 'lp' (L-P is an example).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'queen's' becomes 'ers' (abbreviation for Elizabeth Regina).
'he'+'lp'+'ers'='HELPERS'

(Another definition for helpers that I've seen is " Assistants".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
