Saigon were formed in Paisley, Scotland and consisted of: Jim Baird - Vocals & Bass (Guild 302 Fretless, electro Harmonix chorus unit, Fender Amps).

"where are the Roses" was recorded in Emblem Studios Strathaven, January 1981 and released in May that year. Although only recorded as a demo, the Single made Record of the Week in Record Mirror. They also performed 2 concerts in Fresnes Prison, near Paris, as a tribute to writer Jean Genet, who had influenced their lyric writing a great deal. Genet had written "Our Lady of the Flowers" while in Fresnes. The images are from Jean Genet's SMOKE.
