Lee's career ruined when copyright lost on old record (9)

I believe the answer is:

rerelease

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

'lee's career ruined when copyright lost' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'on old record' is the wordplay.
'on' becomes 're' ('on' can be mean 'with reference to').
'old record' becomes 'release' (I've seen this before. I am not sure about the 'old' bit.).
're'+'release'='RERELEASE'

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
