Fred, Greg pleased to get stripped off, put back in circulation (9)
I believe the answer is:
rerelease
'stripped off put back in circulation' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'fred greg pleased to get' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'get' could be 'lease' (leasing is a kind of getting) and 'lease' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
