The History of Flo & Eddie and the Turtles is a three-LP box set album from Flo & Eddie, issued in 1983 by Rhino Records. The first LP includes a song recorded by an early incarnation of The Turtles under the name The Crossfires, a selection of rarities by The Turtles themselves, including a BBC session recording of their signature song "Happy Together", and songs from their first post-Turtles album, The Phlorescent Leech & Eddie, from 1972. The second LP contains songs from their next 3 albums: Flo & Eddie (1973), Illegal, Immoral and Fattening (1975), and Moving Targets (1976). The final LP in the set features songs recorded for film and TV soundtracks, linked with excerpts from The Flo & Eddie Radio Show. This box set has never been reissued on CD.
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. Instead of duplicating tracks already available on the Turtles' first five studio albums, which had been reissued by Rhino the same year, the portion of the compilation dedicated to The Turtles contains otherwise out-of-print and unreleased material.
