Offered for sale is an original 1998 promotional CD of Duster – Stratosphere, released by Up Records to promote the album prior to its February 24, 1998 street date. This is not a retail copy—it is the scarce UPCDPRO 050 promotional edition issued to radio stations, reviewers, and industry professionals.

Stratosphere has become one of the defining albums of the slowcore/space rock movement and has achieved cult-classic status, making original promotional copies increasingly difficult to find.
