Mine arrived today, bought it super quick. I really enjoy this score. I also find this is one where I need to arrange a few songs towards the end at least on first listen. I would have preferred if the instrumental version of Somewhere Out There was the orchestral not the pop version but what can you do? With all the songs and Warren T Rat track moved to the end it is almost perfect.
The one part that will forever drive me nuts is how Releasing the Secret Weapon ends with a short reprise of There are No Cats in America and some Chinese style music.
Damn the movie for dictating what direction the score should take!
Personally this reprise of "There are No Cats..." (with its stereo panning) is one of my favorite moments ! 
By the way, not having heard it yet, I wonder why you isolate "Warren T Rat" from the rest of the score... Is it related to a song ? Personnally, in scores like this with orchestral songs thematicaly tied to the score, I prefer to listen to them in movie order.
I'm only suggesting the end of that cue with There are No Cats would work better as a separate track. It interrupts the flow of the music which otherwise flows well from one track to the other. That is the same reason I moved Warren T Rat. I don't find the style of music fits with the orchestral portions that precede it and follow it. Once I removed the other ones I mentioned to the end, I play the tracks in one go and it flows quite nicely.
It is for this same reason of flow that Intrada chose to move the synth tracks in Apollo 13 to the end after the main program. I didn't mean to suggest that the music shouldn't be how it is, but simply that I am annoyed by being unable to move that part I mentioned to the end because it is at the end of a longer track. Of course if Intrada were to leave out these songs someone would be annoyed so I understand why they are included as this is a soundtrack release. I prefer in 90% of scores for the songs to be at the end with the source cues but I know those choosing how to present the music may disagree with me on that.
After posting what I did last night, I listened to everything again and it flows very nicely. I don't buy these scores because of nostalgia for the movies. I buy them for the music, specifically, Horner's orchestral music. I treat these scores as classical works. Bits like the pop version of Somewhere Out There don't fit with that style so I move them out of my playlist.

If anyone has received the Intrada album, It'd be interesting to hear if the liner notes talk about these "missing" cues being tracked.
Just got my copy, but the liner notes don't talk about that.

Does their Apollo 13 talk about tracked music?

I hope one day they'll re-issue the film (on 4K?) and restore the original audio.
