Sell fine record (4)

I believe the answer is:

flog

'sell' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'fine record' is the wordplay.
'fine' becomes 'f' (abbreviation).
'record' becomes 'log' (log is a kind of record).
'f'+'log'='FLOG'

(Other definitions for flog that I've seen before include "Lash" , "Beat with a whip or rod" , "Exchange for money" , "Beat with whip or slangily sell" , "- - a dead horse" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Hindu.
