You record sharp cry (4)
I believe the answer is:
yelp
'sharp cry' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'you record' is the wordplay.
'you' becomes 'ye'.
'record' becomes 'lp' (LP is an example).
'ye'+'lp'='YELP'
(Other definitions for yelp that I've seen before include "Sharp shrill cry of dog (4)" , "Shrill short cry of dog" , "Painful sound" , "Barking" , "Short sharp cry (of such as a dog)" .)
