A Traveler's Guide to Space and Time is the first box set by German power metal band Blind Guardian. [1] It contains 15 CDs and covers the bands discography during the so-called Virgin years, between 1988 and 2004. Along with seven studio albums, two live albums and one compilation album (all of them remastered in 2012 and some remixed), it also includes Imaginations Through the Looking Glass in audio format, a special edition of Nightfall In Middle-Earth and a CD of demos and rarities. [2] It also came with a 20-page glossy booklet, limited and numbered Blind Guardian art print on special paper and a guitar pick with band logo. [1] It is a strictly limited edition, as only 8000 copies were made worldwide. [1]
