Crossword Genius

Part of egg gets record points (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

albumen

'part of egg' is the definition.
('albumen' is part of 'egg')

'record points' is the wordplay.
'record' becomes 'album' (I've seen this in another clue).
'points' becomes 'en' (two compass points).
'album'+'en'='ALBUMEN'

'gets' is the link.

(Other definitions for albumen that I've seen before include "White poacher" , "Egg's white" , "The white part of an egg" , "Egg-white" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
