Rice Krispies Song
Basically, it was Kay Starr's fault. In the 1950s, her cut-glass, come-hither singing style was the sexiest sound around. Half a century later, Eddie Hubbard is still besotted. He presses the play button on his 1950s jukebox and sits back as Ms Starr's torch song blazes into his sitting room. 'The wheel of fortune/ goes spinning around/Will the arrow point my way?/Will this be my day?'
But this is not Eddie Hubbard's lucky day. The wheel of fortune may be spinning, but his jukebox turntable is not. The record return mechanism has jammed out of position. As each new disc meets the turntable, it crashes against the metal casing, shatters and is destroyed.
Two months after the event, Hubbard is still in shock. 'It was horrendous, but quite hypnotic,' he says. 'I just stood there and watched as some of my most precious records got smashed to pieces.' By the time he had recovered sufficiently to pull the plug, it was too late. The record wreckage resembled the nightmare broom-sweeping scene in Fantasia. 'The damage was catastrophic. I lost 30 of my best records in the space of a couple of minutes. All together, they were worth £250. I don't know if I'll ever be able to replace them.'

Hubbard is one of a growing number of music lovers who virtually refuse to acknowledge the existence of CDs, and to whom even vinyl is vile. Instead, Hubbard is addicted to 78s - shellac records whose sound is transmitted through a needle the size of a dentist's drill. He doesn't own a hi-fi or a record player (aside from the pernicious jukebox, now repaired), but he has three gramophones.
There are possibly 50,000 other 78rpm enthusiasts like Hubbard across Britain. Many are customers of Dinosaur Discs, a mail-order company set up by David Moore in Norfolk. Moore had the foresight to register himself as www.78rpm.co.uk, meeting the online demands of record collectors worldwide. But Moore's commercial ventures are hamstrung by his insistence on keeping most of his prized records for himself. Even so, about half of his collection of 60,000 records is available for sale.
One special treasure is a 1929 recording of a song called Susianna, sung by an anonymous crooner with the Ariel Dance Orchestra, that Moore discovered under a pile of underwear in a junk shop and bought for 50p. Further digging disclosed that the voice was that of a young and enterprising Bing Crosby, 'moonlighting' long before Moonlight Becomes You made him a star.
Moore's collecting career began at 14. His parents would not allow any recorded music in the house, but then he picked up two old wind-up gramophones and a stack of 78s at a school fete. ('They cost sixpence, my very first bargain.') He has since acquired some very bizarre items, including records made of cardboard, clay and even chocolate.
'When 45s and LPs appeared, they took over the market and 78s were being dumped wholesale,' he says. 'You would see them at fetes where you could line up to smash them with croquet balls, like a coconut shy.' This makes it all the more ironic that 78s are now sought after and thought to be a sound investment.
One authority on the subject is Greg Butler, an industrial chemist whose record-trading activities have taken over his life. Every nook and cranny in his house in Foxton, near Cambridge, is crammed with records: there are discs in the garage,the conservatory, even the greenhouse. Butler has more than 110,000 records - every one for sale. About 80,000 of those are 78s, and some of them are very valuable indeed.
'There was a crossover period at the end of the 1950s when 45s took over,' says Butler. 'But there were still many die-hard record collectors who remained faithful to 78s. You can see their point.' He puts a 1956 Johnny Ray ballad on the turntable. 'Listen - it's a really rich, mellow tone,' he says. 'You don't get that with vinyl.'
The upshot was that record companies continued to produce a limited quota of 78s. The rarity of these 'freak' 78s has sent their value soaring. 'If you have a mint condition 78 of Elvis singing Mess of Blues, that will be worth about £1,000,'Butler says. 'Roy Orbison's Only the Lonely on a 78 would probably fetch £400. That's what is so fascinating about this. All over Britain, there are families with 78s stuck in their lofts gathering dust. In many cases they are sitting on a gold mine.'
The prospect of picking up the bargain of a lifetime sends 78rpm aficionados flocking twice a year to Greg's Great Record Sale, where they riffle frantically through laundry baskets and cardboard cartons chock-full of 78s, searching for the Holy Grail (boy band, southern California, circa 1955). 'They're an interesting bunch,' says Butler of his customers. 'Some are searching for every release by a particular artist, others want every disc cut by a certain record company. At times, they can get a bit obsessive. Last year I had one customer who was keen on boy sopranos - their records, I mean. He camped outside the house in his Dormobile for two nights, waiting for the sale to begin. He ended up buying a couple of hundred records.'

The collecting fever is contagious - I am now building up my own stock of 78s from scratch. My original collection came to grief in 1960, when my flatmate nailed them to the carpet to practise flamenco. This is all the more galling now I know that my Little Richard records alone would fetch upwards of £300. I'll need luck as well as money to track down and replace them all. But as the vocalist on my latest purchase - the sensational Kay Starr - pleads so persuasively: 'Oh wheel of fortune/ I'm hoping somehow/If you ever smile on me/Please let it be now.'
