Record covered by Erasure is so damn uplifting! (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dossier

'record' is the definition.
(dossier is a kind of record)

'covered by erasure is so damn uplifting' is the wordplay.
'covered by' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'uplifting' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'reissod' is hidden within 'erasure is so damn'.
'reissod' back-to-front is 'DOSSIER'.

(Other definitions for dossier that I've seen before include "File on a person or topic" , "brief" , "Report" , "Collection of documents on a topic" , "Set of papers" .)
