In 1989, Zen Arcade was ranked No. 33 on Rolling Stone ‘ s list of the 100 greatest albums of the 1980s. SST erred on the side of caution and initially pressed between 3,500 and 5,000 copies of the album, but the record sold out a few weeks into the band’s tour in support of the record. The album remained out of stock for months afterward, which affected sales and frustrated the band.
