Starts to put record straight about some current spoilers (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pamperers

'spoilers' is the definition.
(people who spoil or pamper others)

'starts to put record straight about some current' is the wordplay.
'starts to' suggests taking the first letters.
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'some current' becomes 'ampere' ().
The initial letters of 'put record straight' is 'prs'.
'prs' enclosing 'ampere' is 'PAMPERERS'.
