[2] The year prior, Styvers had responded to an advertisement for female singers that had been placed by John McBurnie (later of Jackson Heights) and Keith Trowsdale.
The three, with additional vocalists Bethlyn Bates and Valerie Cope, formed the psychedelic folk band Justine and recorded and released one album and two singles with producer Hugh Murphy in 1970.
Released in the United States by Warner Brothers in November 1971, it received good reviews and some airplay on the college circuit but was not commercially successful.
[6] Styvers performed at the Troubadour in Los Angeles in support of the album, but then returned to her studies at the University of Colorado where she joined a local group, Little Brown's Electric Band.
The release includes the entirety of the Spilt Milk and The Colorado Kid LPs, as well as alternate mixes, outtakes, demos, and a 48-page booklet illustrated with photos and memorabilia.
