Hey, what do you mean by "all new rhythm tracks"?
This was my third CD back in the 80's!
The 1980's version replaced original rhythm tracks with new ones played by Arthur Barrow and Chad Wackerman. Apparently the original master tapes deteriorated and Zappa was left with no choice but to re-record them. He also made all the instruments more stereo center like a more modern release.
Of course if the masters were that bad, what about the 1995 reissue that restores the album to it's original form? My only guess is that digital technology finally got good enough to restore the deteriorated tracks, or Frank made an excuse back in the 80's to replace the rhythm section with one he liked better.
Frank did this all the time, the earliest example was "Freak Out" which was re-mixed in 1969 with some new guitar parts and removing some of the studio effects. In the 90's he also did an extensive re-mix of "Hot Rats" which the original version has yet to make an official CD appearance.
