Recording is available in American territory (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

disc

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'recording' is the definition.
(disc is a kind of recording)

'is available in american territory' is the wordplay.
'available in' indicates putting letters inside.
'american territory' becomes 'dc' (DC is an example. I am not sure about the 'american' bit.).
'is' going inside 'dc' is 'DISC'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for disc that I've seen before include "Gramophone record" , "something moving in the spine" , "Flat round plate" , "Layer of cartilege between vertebrae" , "Sound recording" .)
