According to engineer Chris Shaw, Love and Theft was recorded entirely using analog equipment (before Dylan switched to Pro Tools for Modern Times), which resulted in the original master tapes being chopped up when Dylan decided he wanted to re-arrange a song's verses during the mixing process. As Shaw explained in Uncut, "There was a lot of editing done on [[Love and Theft (Bob Dylan album)|'Love and Theft''']]. Like, the song 'High Water', for example, the verse order of that was changed quite a few times, literally hacking the tape up.
