entering

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'recording' is the definition.
(enter can mean to enter into a record)

'fellow losing head over electronic band's' is the wordplay.
'fellow' becomes 'gent' (synonyms).
'losing head' means to remove the first letter.
'over electronic' becomes 'e' (as in e-mail or e-books. I am not sure about the 'over' bit.).
'band' becomes 'ring' (a ring is a band of metal).
'gent' with its initial letter taken away is 'ent'.
'ent'+'e'+'ring'='ENTERING'

Can you help me to learn more?
