Recordings made by a pest giving trouble (5)
I believe the answer is:
tapes
'recordings' is the definition.
(I know this)
'by a pest giving trouble' is the wordplay.
'a pest' can be anagrammed to 'TAPES'.
But, I'm unsure how the anagram is indicated.
'made' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tapes that I've seen before include "A spate of magnetic records" , "Long thin pieces of cloth or paper" , "Records - strips of material" , "Magnetic strips for recording" , "Bands of fabric" .)
