Records go — in weaving this? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tapestry

'in weaving this?' is the definition.
(a tapestry is weaved)

'records go' is the wordplay.
'records' becomes 'tapes' (taping is a kind of recording).
'go' becomes 'try' (I've seen this before).
'tapes'+'try'='TAPESTRY'

(Other definitions for tapestry that I've seen before include "Party set (anag)" , "Woven wall-hanging" , "a picture on the wall" , "Embroidered picture" , "Ornamental wall hanging" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
