Swedish band regret turning record over the wrong way (6)
I believe the answer is:
europe
'wrong way' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'swedish band regret turning record over' is the wordplay.
'swedish band' becomes 'o' (I've seen this in other clues. I am not sure about the 'swedish' bit.).
'regret' becomes 'rue' (to rue something is to regret it).
'turning' says the letters should be written backwards.
'record' becomes 'EP' (abbreviation for extended play record).
'over' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'o'+'rue'='orue'
'orue' written backwards gives 'euro'.
'ep' backwards is 'pe'.
'euro'+'pe'='EUROPE'
'the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for europe that I've seen before include "Britain, France etc" , "our part of the world" , "several countries" , "Continent 6)" , "Did Poe rue being on the continent?" .)
