Saudis note paper made totally unrestricted recordings here (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

andromeda

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

'paper made totally unrestricted recordings here' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.

'saudis note' is the wordplay.
'saudis' becomes 'andromed' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'note' becomes 'a' (musical note).
'andromed'+'a'='ANDROMEDA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for andromeda that I've seen before include "Greek maid seen in Milan" , "plant" , "shrub" , "Strangely, man adored the constellation" , "Constellation; daughter of Cassiopeia" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
