Been staring at this one for ages!
Help please!

15 ac. Backing group into rock'n'roll is busted, apparently (7)

T_P_ _ _ S

The group is Emerson, Lake and Palmer (How's that for obscure!)

btw if you work out how the clues that refer to this one work, it will give you the answer (that's how I got it)

Thanks, I've got it now! And yes that is ridiculously obscure!

Thanks ChrisE.
I had the answer but had no idea how it parsed. Never heard of the group!

Hi rossim
I've actually got 3 of their CDs - good, if a bit pretentious!

Loved them when I was young but yeah a bit full of themselves. Didn't see them in the answer though, some very convoluted clues in this.

Not enjoying this one - too esoteric. Stuck on last three in NE corner:
7D Wrong 'un gets tortured now and then (6). I've got -N---E. Is it an anagram of ungets?
12A Become registered company in US once name changed to Lambert. (5) I have E----
Lastly, 26D/8A The definitive K9 18 (8). C-E--A--. I assume it's another weird cocktail!

Yes, too quirky for me.

7 starts UN, but you need to get the other letters from elsewhere

12 change a ltter of a notorious US company from N to L

26 the E is wrong

Thanks, Chrise.I'll work on that.
