Was there ever an official release of this soundtrack, whether on vinyl way back when or on a limited edition cd that now commands high prices on the aftermarket?

No.
Eight minutes of the score were re-recorded by Laurie Johnson and the London Studio Symphony Orchestra on a 1981 LP (later a CD) on the Unicorn label. The album was titled "The Western Film World of Dimitri Tiomkin."
There were also numerous 45 RPM records issued of two songs in the film: "Rio Bravo" and "My Rifle, My Pony and Me."
