The History of Flo & Eddie and the Turtles was a three-LP box set album from Flo & Eddie, issued in 1983 by Rhino Records. The first LP contained songs from their 1963 debut album Out of Control, under the band name The Crossfires, and songs from their first post-Turtles album, The Phlorescent Leech & Eddie, from 1972. The second LP contained songs from their next 3 albums: Flo & Eddie (1973), Illegal, Immoral and Fattening (1975), and Moving Targets (1976). The final LP in the set was a special one, containing excerpts from The Flo & Eddie Radio Show. This box set has never been reissued on CD.

Contents

This was the first album in which Flo & Eddie had been legally allowed to use the name The Turtles since leaving White Whale Records, owners of the name, in 1970. The album contains no direct material from The Turtles' White Whale era, although some of the more popular songs from that period were re-recorded for the box set.
