Cryptic crossword No 2,668

Far more of a challenge than some of yours and I admit your long CDs mostly eluded me. Once I wimped out and revealed them, I could solve most of the rest. Faves include 8a,11a,13a and 6d,7d,18d. 10a, which I failed to solve, is clever!

I had fun doing this. Nothing overly taxing but plenty of smiles and chuckles. I was really impressed with some of the surface, my favourites were 1d, 3d, 4d, 8a, 10a and 17d. Will look out for your crosswords in future, thanks.

Thanks SwanseaJack for an enjoyable crossword. My top picks were 8a, 9a, 13a, 12d, and 14d. I never solved 1d or 5d nor could I parse 10a. I did like the conciseness of your clues. More in reply.
