About this record
Only one copy of this Canadian Cotton Candy is currently listed for sale, and the cheapest asking figure is 2.79 USD. That scarcity sits against 7 collectors who have it and 3 who want it, a demand signal that is unusually balanced for a 1964 RCA Victor jazz LP.
The catalogue number LPM-2917 is the key identifier, since the same title also appears as LSP-2917 in the United States.
What drives its value
The price_guide runs from 13.70 USD for a Mint copy down to 6.49 USD at VG, so a buyer paying for condition is paying across that whole range. The VG+ estimate is 9.38 USD and the NM figure is 12.26 USD, both taken from the guide and not current sales.
Only 1 copy is listed for sale at the 2.79 USD lowest price, so the market is thin and a single clean example can set the local ask. The community tally of 7 owners and 3 wants shows steady but modest demand.
Among the other_pressings, the Canadian LPM-2917 sits alongside a 1964 US RCA Victor issue under LSP-2917, and the US stereo-style catalogue prefix means buyers should match the exact number before comparing prices. Because this record is a Canadian mono release, a US figure is not a direct substitute.
How to appraise this pressing
Start with the label, which reads RCA Victor, and the catalogue number LPM-2917 on the spine and front or back cover. Check that the listing describes it as a mono LP with 12 tracks, since the format_descriptions for this release are LP, Album and Mono.
The release has no barcode, so do not rely on one for identification. Look in the dead wax, the blank area between the last groove and the label, for a matrix or runout code, and compare it to a verified reference copy because no matrix string is recorded in these facts.
Confirm that the sleeve and disc both carry the Canadian pressing details rather than the US LSP-2917 wording. Grade the disc by eye under good light and the sleeve separately, then match the grade to the price_guide tiers, from M at 13.70 USD down to VG at 6.49 USD.

Frequently asked
What is a VG+ copy of Cotton Candy worth?
The price_guide estimate for a VG+ copy is 9.38 USD, and the guide is an estimate rather than a record of recent sales. The lowest asking price currently recorded is 2.79 USD, from a single copy for sale.
What is a Mint copy worth?
The price_guide lists a Mint copy at 13.70 USD. That figure is the top of the guide and is an estimate, so a Mint copy in hand should be compared against actual listings.
How do I tell the Canadian LPM-2917 from the US LSP-2917?
Read the catalogue number on the spine and label. LPM-2917 is the Canadian release catalogue number recorded for this title, while LSP-2917 is the US RCA Victor number listed among the other_pressings, so the two are separate pressings.
Is a Mint copy worth more than a VG copy by a large margin?
The price_guide moves from 13.70 USD at Mint to 6.49 USD at VG, so condition accounts for a meaningful difference in the guide. The spread is stated only as those two endpoint prices, not as a computed gap.
How many copies of this Canadian pressing are for sale?
The listing data shows 1 copy for sale, with the lowest price at 2.79 USD. Only 7 collectors have it and 3 want it, so supply is limited.
