Re: rage red book (the one guest programmers use)

Clearly this is not the complete list of videos in the rage library, they have lots more Morrissey and Madonna clips than just the ones listed for example. I presume they have an electronic database now of the clips, but it's possible there are legacy databases or printed only catalogues (red books) which list all the clips they had up to a certain date, before they migrated to a new database.
