Got the record back by a trick, you read (6)
I believe the answer is:
peruse
'you read' is the definition.
'peruse' can be an answer for 'read' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'you' bit.
'got the record back by a trick' is the wordplay.
'got the record back' becomes 'pe' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'by' says to put letters next to each other.
'a trick' becomes 'ruse' (I've seen this in another clue).
'pe'+'ruse'='PERUSE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for peruse that I've seen before include "Browse, read casually" , "Scan carefully for rupees" , "Run one's eye over" , "Examine at length" , "Scrutinise" .)
