Record a pound with hesitation (5)
I believe the answer is:
album
'record' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'a pound with hesitation' is the wordplay.
'pound' becomes 'lb' (abbreviation for the unit of weight).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'hesitation' becomes 'um' (um is said in hesitation).
'a'+'lb'+'um'='ALBUM'
(Other definitions for album that I've seen before include "Item of music released" , "Blank book for keeping stamps, photographs etc" , "Book for organising photographs" , "Pictures" , "A music record or a book of photos" .)
