Urge to hold record and strip (7)
I believe the answer is:
deprive
'strip' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'urge to hold record' is the wordplay.
'urge' becomes 'drive' (I've seen this before).
'to hold' indicates putting letters inside.
'record' becomes 'EP' (abbreviation for extended play record).
'drive' enclosing 'ep' is 'DEPRIVE'.
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for deprive that I've seen before include "Prevent (someone) from having" , "Debar from enjoyment" , "Dispossess (someone of something)" , "Take away from, prevent from enjoying" , "Withhold - divest" .)
