Find a long lost song?

Can any of you recommend resources for finding out of print vocal sheet music?
Back in the mid-80s my high school jazz choir did a piece called "Fugue Sandwich", which was an a cappella jazz fugue. I remember it vividly, I am positive that was the title, and 25 years later I can still sing for you the opening phrase. I think it would be perfect for a small ensemble I am singing in, but I can't seem to find it. I sent an email to the current coral director at my old high school on the off chance they still have it in the stacks there, but failing that can anyone recommend another way to search for it?

Best answer: They seem to have it here.

Response by poster: That has to be it. The year of the album is exactly right (would have been my senior year in high school), and the version at Stanton's matches the publisher on the album. I've ordered a copy for myself, I'll know for sure in a few days....
Thanks!

I would also suggest you contact the music library at a university near you or your high school, ideally one with a strong choral program, and ask if they can help you track it down. If it's out of print, a music library is probably going to be the only place you'll still be able to get copies.
