Record Scot concealing remedy for hedonist (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

epicurean

'hedonist' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'record scot concealing remedy' is the wordplay.
'record' becomes 'EP' (abbreviation for extended play record).
'scot' becomes 'ian'.
'concealing' is an insertion indicator.
'remedy' becomes 'cure' (synonyms).
'ian' enclosing 'cure' is 'icurean'.
'ep'+'icurean'='EPICUREAN'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for epicurean that I've seen before include "Bon vivant" , "foodie" , "Gourmet" , "Living for pleasure" , "One appreciating food and drink" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
