Track split into multiple parts despite given tracklist

So in this release:
https://musicbrainz.org/release/4da33b43-132e-419a-8a71-5867208963c1
the tracklist ON the CD gives us 2 tracks: Man and Womankind and the encore, but the CD itself is comprised of 19 tracks, with the last 2 corresponding to the encore, much like the digital release:
https://musicbrainz.org/release/578eea85-272f-4b45-a79b-3823acf10cf5
which I honestly think is just a rip of the CD anyways.

How would the correct tracklist look? Would it be adapted from the digital release’s styling but taking into account the encore (as in Part I - XVII and then Encore! Part I - Part II)? Something else? Do I just leave it as it is now?

If the CD is actually 19tracks, then the Release should be updated to show that. Track lists should follow the physical media.

This started from an import of a Discogs page. And on there someone has clearly just copied the cover text and not the reality of the medium.

As to the actual CD track names - if I was doing this I’d use " From the Side of Man and Womankind, Part 1" and “Encore, Part 1” as the roman numerals are a bit of a mess for track names. Normal “, Part 1” is more standard as seen in Audiobooks, etc.

different version here:
http://www.discogs.com/Tony-Conrad-With-Faust-Outside-The-Dream-Syndicate-Alive/release/3294344
with two obvious differences:
- track times given on CD are different
- only two tracks

could someone confirm that this version is correct?

I read that, but could not see anyone confirming a 2 track CD. Especially with those matrix details staying kinda similar.

Seems more like someone just following the “as on the cover” rule and not playing the CD.

The SID codes seem different

If it had a bigger gap between manufacturing, I’d believe someone had split it up on a later release. Also the lack of any DiscID makes me also doubt a 2 track version.

Maybe just make a new release due to the doubt. Easier to have two options.

I did not know of this resource, thanks.
Never seen a 2 track copy so assumed it was just dupes, good thing I made this thread first.
