I'm real excited after record denial (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

disclaimer

'denial' is the definition.
(I know that disclaimer is a type of denial)

'i'm real excited after record' is the wordplay.
'excited' indicates an anagram.
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'record' becomes 'disc' (eg a CD, compact disc).
'im'+'real'='imreal'
'imreal' is an anagram of 'laimer'.
'laimer' put after 'disc' is 'DISCLAIMER'.

(Other definitions for disclaimer that I've seen before include "One denies" , "A denial" , "Repudiation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
