Despite its legal troubles, SST continued to release records by artists including Minutemen, Saccharine Trust, and Meat Puppets.
In 1982 Minneapolis hardcore group Hüsker Dü became the label's first non-West Coast signing.
Following the resolution of the debacle with Unicorn Records, SST released four Black Flag albums in 1984.
The multiple Black Flag albums, along with the double album releases Zen Arcade and Double Nickels on the Dime by Hüsker Dü and the Minutemen, respectively, stretched the label's resources.
While SST believed Zen Arcade would be a sizable underground hit, pressings of over 5, 000 copies were unknown territory for the label, so it erred on the side of caution and did not print over that number in its initial pressing.
Awarded critical acclaim by several mainstream media outlets, Zen Arcade sold out quickly and remained out of print for months.
Ginn decided to cut the promotional costs of the Black Flag albums by issuing them in quick succession and having the band tour solidly behind the releases.
