Reveals that the record fails (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

discloses

'reveals' is the definition.
(disclosing is a kind of revealing)

'the record fails' is the wordplay.
'the record' becomes 'disc' (eg a CD, compact disc).
'fails' becomes 'loses' (I've seen this before).
'disc'+'loses'='DISCLOSES'

'that' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for discloses that I've seen before include "Gives info" , "leaks" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
