Barbara Dane wrote the notes in the booklet - she co-founded the label Paredon Records, which released records based "on the needs of the people's movements all over the world". It has a very similar background to the LP "Vietnam Will Win! Liberation Songs of the Vietnamese People Recorded in Vietnam" below, largely aimed at the American anti-war market. "March into Saigon" featured on the B-side of topic songs, written as a tribute to the 1968 Tet Offensive, when the North Vietnamese attacked the US forces directly in Saigon.
