Liner Notes
The liner notes to "Talk Is Cheap" Volume III start with Rollins jokingly ask whether Sydney is the only place he makes spoken word recordings. No, it isn't; but the Enmore Theatre was the location of "Talk Is Cheap" Volume I and his sound recordist makes high-quality recordings there. Rollins notes that one dollar from each copy bought of "Talk Is Cheap" Volume III will go to Hollygrove Children's Services in Los Angeles, California. Rollins thanks the buyer of the "Talk Is Cheap" series and other CD releases on his 2.13.61 label. Rollins writes, "We have kept the price at ten bucks even in these times of inflation. Why? Because talk is cheap and we're all judged by what we do, not what we say."
