I know and there were like three versions of Beautiful Nightmare before it finally became Sweet Dreams.
There was a really basic demo version, then they added the 808s, then they added the male adlibs & turn the lights out, then finally they mastered it and it became Sweet Dreams.
I'm also surprised, considering 4 leaked 3 weeks in advance, that there aren't more leaks (any at all really) from that era. Self-Titled having no leaks doesn't surprise me.
