Pursue a recording (5)
I believe the answer is:
track
This clue is a double definition.
'pursue' is the first definition.
(I know that track is a more specific form of the action pursue)
'a recording' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for track that I've seen before include "Beaten path" , "Part of record" , "Path; rails; circuit" , "Mark of passage" , "Mark - line - groove" .)
