About this record
Two runout strings, "SP 115" and "SP 116", sit in the dead wax of this Terre Haute pressing, and the stamped etchings are what separate it from the original run. Among the details collectors check first is the center label, which the release notes say varies from copy to copy, including one variant that shows no indication of stereo beyond the catalogue number SP 108.
Demand is steady rather than frenzied: 946 community members list it as owned and 47 list it as wanted.
What drives its value
The price guide puts this pressing from 19.28 USD in Mint down to 9.13 USD in VG, with NM at 17.25 USD and VG+ at 13.19 USD, so condition moves the figure more than anything else. These are guide estimates, and the lowest current listing sits at 0.88 USD across 41 copies for sale, a reminder that asking prices can fall well below the guide.
The 946 owners against 47 wanters point to a record that circulates widely and is not scarce in the market. The other_pressings data was not supplied with this record, so I cannot place this Terre Haute copy against other pressings of the title, and any value difference between them should be verified separately.
How to appraise this pressing
Begin with the dead wax. A genuine copy of this pressing should carry the stamped matrix strings SP 115 and SP 116 on the two sides, and the variant forms recorded in the data are "SP 115 — 1AE — T" and "SP-116 · 1-0 · T".
The pressing plant recorded for this release is the Columbia Records Pressing Plant in Terre Haute, so confirm that the etched or stamped plant identification matches. Next, read the center label: the release notes say several variants exist, and track A3 appears as "Hello, Dolly" without an exclamation point, while track A1 is printed without a parenthetical title on the cover.
Use these text differences to match your copy against the known variants. The label is A&M Records and the catalogue number is SP 108; there is no barcode on this release, so do not look for one.
For grading, judge the vinyl and sleeve independently and compare the surfaces against the Mint, NM, VG+ and VG descriptions used in the price guide.

Frequently asked
What is a VG+ copy of South Of The Border worth?
The price guide estimates a VG+ copy at 13.19 USD. This is a guide figure rather than a sale price, and the lowest current listing in the data is 0.88 USD, so actual transactions can differ.
How do I tell this pressing apart from other copies?
Check the dead wax for the matrix strings SP 115 and SP 116 and the Terre Haute plant identification, then compare the center label text. The release notes say variant labels exist, including differences in the stereo indication and in how track A3 is spelled, so a label-only check is not enough on its own.
What does a Mint copy sell for compared with a VG copy?
The guide gives 19.28 USD for Mint and 9.13 USD for VG. Both are estimates dated to the price guide, and the difference between grades is largely driven by surface condition on the vinyl and sleeve.
Does this record have a barcode I can use to confirm it?
No. The record data indicates there is no barcode, so you should confirm identity through the matrix strings, the catalogue number SP 108, and the center label variant instead.
Is this a rare record?
The community data shows 946 owners and 47 people wanting it, with 41 copies currently for sale. That suggests the pressing circulates in quantity, so its price is governed more by condition and variant than by scarcity.
