"Shanghai Sky" is off his _Big World_ album(s). It was neat on vinyl because it
came as a three sided album. Packaged as a two album set, side four merely says
"There is no music on this side." When you play it, it tracks to the center as
fast as it can. Also, on of his best albums, in my arrogant opinion. 
Unfortunately, here in the States, it is now out of print (pressing?) on CD, 
and so I am reduced to scouring used record stores and checking on imports. 
It isn't working.

They're right. It IS the wrong kind of snow (for them.) It's the kind that 
actually (god forfend!) falls from the sky... Our administration at least has
the excuse of just not having any experience with snow (or regular
below-freezing temps.) But gads - you think that some people would learn!
Oh well, can't have everything : either we could have smart administrators 
or... what do we have now that's good? I forget... (end pseudoanarchist rant 
here.)

Sounds great! Your call, though - what's next? I could do with another fast
one...
