| Chips Chipperfield |
Chips was one of my best friends, and was responsible for making the time I spent working on the Beatles Anthology one of the happiest and exciting times of my life. We would often remark on how fortunate we were to be able to come into work and spend the whole day listening to Beatles music. Whenever we would have a section of the programme edited we would invite Chips into the edit suite and it was always great to see a big smile break across his face, this was a sign that he was happy with the work we were doing. Chips and I worked on a number of other projects together outside of the Beatles and even when were we not working on projects together I would ring him and ask for his advice and he was always happy to pass on his knowledge. Anyone who met Chips would remark on his friendliness and his great head of hair and his infectious laugh. I will miss him very much.Cheers,
Bob Smeaton
Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Chips Chipperfield, who has sadly passed away. Chips was the Grammy award winning producer of the Beatles Anthology, and a long serving member of the Apple Corps family. Warm, wise and kind, he was loved and respected by all those who worked with him. His youthful spirit and enthusiasm for life will continue to be an inspiration to all those who knew him. He will be dearly missed by all of us.
And former McCartney publicist Geoff Baker sent us this exclusive statement:
Chip was a lovely, lovely man - like most if not all of Neil's Boys, he was unorthodoxly creative and that made him a joy and a gas to work with. He was the producer of The Beatles Anthology, the greatest TV achievement in the history of rock and roll and, more than that, the lovely thing about Chips was whenever he hugged you, you always felt that he meant it. We will all miss him hugely.
