Played initially, recent or old LP (7)
I believe the answer is:
platter
'old lp' is the definition.
'platter' can be an answer for 'lp' (I've seen this in another clue). I am not certain of the 'old' bit.
'played initially recent' is the wordplay.
'initially' says to take the initial letters.
'recent' becomes 'latter' (I've seen this in another clue).
The initial letter of 'played' is 'p'.
'p'+'latter'='PLATTER'
'or' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for platter that I've seen before include "main course" , "Large flat plate" , "Salver" , "pop record" , "Shallow serving dish" .)
