George Martin, for one, mixed up record (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

producer

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

'george martin' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.

'one mixed up record' is the wordplay.
'one mixed' is an anagram indicator.
'up'+'record'='uprecord'
'uprecord' with letters rearranged gives 'PRODUCER'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for producer that I've seen before include "Manufacturer; film overseer" , "One finds the finance for films" , "Person responsible for putting on a play" , "Creator; supervisor (of programme, play)" , "Procured for film or play organiser" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
