For the most part, any of the 1995 CD's are OK. (except for Ruben & the Jets... the original version was never officially released on any CD... the CD version was remixed in the '80s, and sounds DIFFERENT...)
What I mean by DIFFERENT is, it sounds like it was RE-RECORDED in the '80s, because a lot of it ACTUALLY WAS RERECORDED. I actually prefer the original 1967 version. (and have a copy)
Well, the 1995 "We're Only In It..." is good enough. The older version of the CD is a REMIX version that Zappa did around the time he REMIXED Ruben and the Jets. I have the 1995 CD, and a COPY of the remix version, as I didn't feel it was worth hunting down a legal copy. I definately have Ruben & the Jets on vinyl.

But if you want more detailed answers... here's a good site:

Not sure how up to date it is though.

I know the story about Ruben! :(
As far as I see, there's a lot complications like these, We're Only In It..., for example.
