“The Beach” is a home movie featuring the McCartney family — Paul, Linda, and their daughters Heather and Mary — filmed at their Scottish farm around the end of 1969. It was later edited and released on the DVD included in the deluxe edition of the “McCartney – Archive Collection” in 2011.

The film is accompanied by an instrumental version of “Junk,” performed by the Loma Mar Quartet and recorded in 1999 for Paul McCartney’s classical album “Working Classical.”
