In the mid-2000s, Vince Guaraldi's son, David Guaraldi, worked to restore a wealth of unreleased live recorded material from his father's archives. The recordings on North Beach were taped in a variety of unspecified studios and jazz clubs based in the North Beach region of San Francisco, California.
The release features covers of Elton John's "Your Song" and Frank Sinatra's "It Was a Very Good Year".
North Beach was released on CD only. It did not receive a vinyl release.
