Tried playing record earlier? Rubbish! (9)
I believe the answer is:
discredit
'rubbish' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'tried playing record earlier?' is the wordplay.
'playing' indicates anagramming the letters.
'record' becomes 'disc' (synonyms).
'earlier?' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'tried' is an anagram of 'redit'.
'redit' put after 'disc' is 'DISCREDIT'.
(Other definitions for discredit that I've seen before include "Bring (someone) into bad repute" , "Smear" , "explode" , "To tarnish" , "Refuse to believe" .)
