Next door there's a player of records needing a bit of money (8)
I believe the answer is:
adjacent
'next door' is the definition.
(next door can mean directly adjacent to)
'a player of records needing a bit of money' is the wordplay.
'player of records' becomes 'DJ' (disc jockey).
'needing' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'bit of money' becomes 'cent'.
'a'+'dj'+'a'+'cent'='ADJACENT'
'there's' is the link.
(Other definitions for adjacent that I've seen before include "Neighbouring" , "Contiguous" , "cheek by jowl" , "Lying near, bordering" , "Alongside" .)
