Leaving, rushing to acquire record (9)

I believe the answer is:

departing

'leaving' is the definition.
('depart' can be a synonym of 'leave')

'rushing to acquire record' is the wordplay.
'rushing' becomes 'darting' (darting is a kind of rushing).
'to acquire' is an insertion indicator.
'record' becomes 'EP' (abbreviation for extended play record).
'darting' enclosing 'ep' is 'DEPARTING'.

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
