** Along with ''Music/{{Us}}'', ''So'' was chosen by famed audiophile label Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab to receive an in-house remaster and reissue as part of the label's "Ultradisc II" line of 24-karat gold CD releases, under the catalog number UDCD 689. However, for reasons unknown, the plan fell through, and neither ''So'' nor ''Us'' were touched by the label.

* SerendipityWritesThePlot: Originally, Gabriel wanted "In Your Eyes" to be the last song on the album. However, he found that the song sounded better at the beginning of side two, since the needle had more room to vibrate, improving the sound of the song's bass line. In the 2002 remastering, "In Your Eyes" was moved to the end of the album, as per Gabriel's original intentions. The change in running order ends up radically changing the tone of things - the original record ended on "We Do What We're Told (Milgram's 37)", which would qualify as a DownerEnding, whereas segueing from "We Do What We're Told" to "In Your Eyes" ends things on a more hopeful note.

* PopCultureUrbanLegends: For a few years after the album's release, a common rumor claimed that the album title was a LineOfSightName derived from an argument Gabriel had with executives at Creator/CharismaRecords. According to the rumor, the executives told him "But Peter, you can't keep naming all your albums after yourself! You've done it four times running, at this point!" and he answered "So?" Gabriel would eventually debunk the rumor in [[https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/q-a-peter-gabriel-reflects-on-his-1986-landmark-album-so-20120904 a 2012 interview]] with ''Magazine/RollingStone'', stating that he picked the name as an "anti-title" that could work as a graphical element rather than a verbal statement.

* CutSong: "Courage" was recorded during the sessions for the album, but ultimately went uncompleted. The incomplete version would first surface on the 25th anniversary deluxe edition in 2012 (misdated to 2013 on [[https://petergabriel.com/release/courage/ Gabriel's website]]), and in 2014, Gabriel would put out both [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjeAuZX0aRI a finished version]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-Nc5sZZKwE the Hexadecimal Mix]] as a non-album single to support the Back to Front tour.

* WorkingTitle: Gabriel initially intended to title the album ''Good'' (after Creator/CharismaRecords told him that he couldn't name it ''Peter Gabriel'' a fifth time around) before settling on ''So''. [[http://petergabriel.com/focus/the-day-good-became-so/ According to Peter Saville]], who designed the album cover, Gabriel and Saville's assistant, Brett Wicker, decided against ''Good'' thanks to their displeasure with how it looked on the art proofs.
