Soul beat wrong or perfect? (8)
I believe the answer is:
absolute
'perfect?' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'soul beat wrong' is the wordplay.
'wrong' is an anagram indicator.
'soul'+'beat'='soulbeat'
'soulbeat' anagrammed gives 'ABSOLUTE'.
'or' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for absolute that I've seen before include "Unqualified; Sheridan's Sir Anthony" , "Perfect, complete, pure" , "Total or final" , "-273.15degC" , "for certain" .)
