From seventeen, I'm going out for new records (6)

I believe the answer is:

annals

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

'records' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for annals that I've seen before include "Chronological records, yearbooks" , "History of events year by year" , "Tomorrow (Spanish)" , "Registers" , "Yearly records" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
