So Young is a 12" EP by Australian blues, rock and R&B band Jo Jo Zep & The Falcons. Released in November 1978. The EP peaked at number 80 on the Australian Kent Music Report.

The group were angered by their record label EMI's decision to charge $5.99 for the record, rather than the $3.99 they had wished it to retail for. As a result, they left EMI and signed with Mushroom Records. The inclusion of a 'free album' in the first 5,000 copies of their next release, Screaming Targets, was to compensate fans who paid an album price for the So Young EP.[1]
