Dylan mixed the album in Los Angeles in early April , before he departed on the Australian leg of his 1966 world tour . Wilentz writes that it was at this point it became " obvious that the riches of the Nashville sessions could not fit onto a single LP " , and they had " produced enough solid material to demand an oddly configured double album , the first of its kind in contemporary popular music " . According to producer Steve Berkowitz , who supervised the reissue of Dylan 's LPs in mono as '' The Original Mono Recordings '' in 2010 , Johnston told him that they carefully worked on the mono mix for about three or four days whereas the stereo mix was finished in about four hours
