Time Traveller is a box set by British rock band The Moody Blues, released in 1994.[1]
The set is presented in chronological order, beginning with the 1966 addition of Justin Hayward and John Lodge (no material from the pre-Hayward/Lodge era was included). The set includes several previously unreleased or rare tracks, tracks from the 1975 Hayward/Lodge side-project Blue Jays, the track "Forever Autumn" from Jeff Wayne's 1978 album War of the Worlds featuring Hayward on lead vocals and a new 1994 track, "This is the Moment", which had been released earlier that year as a contribution to the 1994 FIFA album Soccer Rocks the Globe.
Originally released as a 5-CD set, the fifth CD contains "This is the Moment" plus eight live recordings that were leftover from the original 1993 release of A Night at Red Rocks. These tracks were later included in the 2003 deluxe re-release of that album.
In 1996 Time Traveller was re-released as a 4-CD box set with CD 5 removed, thus this version of the set ends at the 1991 Keys of the Kingdom album.
