Cry at the old record (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yelp

'cry' is the definition.
(yelp is a kind of cry)

'at the old record' is the wordplay.
'at' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the old' becomes 'ye'.
'record' becomes 'lp' (LP is an example).
'ye'+'lp' is 'YELP'.

(Other definitions for yelp that I've seen before include "Short sharp cry or bark" , "Barking" , "Tiny bark" , "Express discomfort" , "Shrill short cry of dog" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
