Record boy being upset about attention, right? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yearbook

'record' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'boy being upset about attention right?' is the wordplay.
'being upset' indicates anagramming the letters.
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'attention' becomes 'ear' (ear is a kind of attention).
'right?' becomes 'ok' (I've seen this in other clues**).
'boy' is an anagram of 'ybo'.
'ybo' going around 'ear' is 'yearbo'.
'yearbo'+'ok'='YEARBOOK'

(Other definitions for yearbook that I've seen before include "annual product" , "Reference book, published annually" , "Annual publication" , "Annual almanac" , "Almanac published annually" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
