It's on Get Together, one of two bootleg LPs released in 1979 by Koala Records. The recording is from his 1965 performance at La Cave. As far as I know, that is the only sound board recording of the song, although there is at least one mid-90s audience recording as well. It's the one non-original song I really hoped would be released on Songbook, but the decision was made - by Lightfoot - to limit the boxed set to original songs. I still hope that someday we'll get an official release of Nova Scotia Farewell.

As far as I know, there is no recording of Lightfoot's 1965 Newport performance available. Hamilton Camp performed that same afternoon. Although there were recordings of many Newport performances released on vinyl and later on CD, I don't think that anything from either of those two performances ever made it out.
