ReplyDeleteA whimsical clue I suppose although RECORD POP is what I would infer from the second part of the clue.
I too slipped up there filling pop melody and 8D for missing it.
ReplyDeleteI do not quite follow 9D. Maybe a beginner's mistake!
Brought up = Reversal indicator
Deletelearner's = PUPILS
mistake = Definition = SLIP-UP <-
Thank you Col. I was totally beaten, trying to split the 2 words and wondering where is the reversal ! Now I understand the word play and its beauty.
