RE "Crucifixion"

I have a vague memory of seeing on television a recording of this song, sung a capella by a considerable choir of folk luminaries, including, I seem to recall, Tom Paxton and Eric Anderson. Far more powerful than the arrangement on "Pleasures of the Harbor", which was, to my mind, just gratuitously weird! Phil's simple guitar accompaniment on "There and Now" works just fine - I've tried to emulate it, but it is a difficult song to do.

Was the "choral" version ever released on vinyl or CD?
