Possible Crosses Full Length LP Track Listing and Artwork? [UPDATED]

A possible track listing for Crosses upcoming debut full-length has surfaced -- but are we getting anything really new?

What I'm assuming is the cover art for
Crosses' upcoming compilation LP.
[UPDATE 11/5]: Presumably from a press release, Spin is now claiming that the originally announced release date of November 25  will be the pre-order date and February 11, 2014 is now the official street date. I've also added the new track "Bitches Brew" below.

[UPDATE 10/25]: Exclaim! is reporting that the Crosses LP has been pushed back until 2014, and Interpunk is listing all four releases with a January 14, 2014 release date. Official sources are still silent.

Various online retailers are reporting that Crosses will release four items through Sumerian Records on November 26: What appears to be 10" vinyl reissues of their first two EPs, a possible third EP on 10" vinyl and a full-length album on CD (maybe also on 12" vinyl as well).

The contents of the possible third EP and full-length album haven't been publicly and officially confirmed yet, but in previous blog posts I have theorized the possibility that the third EP might be the material the band recorded back in 2009/2010 along with their first two EPs and the the full-length would be new material.

However, amazon.co.uk has supplied the track listing found below (with my own notes of where the tracks could be found previously). It seems like the new LP won't be new material after all, but rather just a compilation of the band's three EPs. Online retailers aren't the most reliable source of information, but if it's true, it's a little disappointing.

EP 3???
At the very least, the compilation LP had better be re-recorded or re-mixed or something. Otherwise, why bother?

Anyways, below is the possible track listing from Amazon UK with my own notes of where the tracks are from. Also below is a stream of "The Epilogue," which was posted online a week or two ago. Along the right of this post are what I believe to be covers for the compilation LP and third EP.

Comment below on your thoughts. How do you feel about a compilation CD? Would you rather have an album of new songs? Do you think we'll get an album of new material in 2014?
