AN INTRODUCTION TO COVERDALE-PAGE S LIVE SET PERFORMED IN THE STUDIO IN 1991

The Coverdale-Page project commenced in 1991 at the suggestion of American A&R executive John Kalodner, as both artists were signed to Geffen Records at the time in North America. The two had met at least once before, at Castle Donington's 1990 Monsters of Rock festival, which Whitesnake headlined. Aerosmith were second on the bill and Page guested on their encore, "Train Kept ARollin'". The pair s only studio album was released by Geffen in North America and EMI internationally, on 15 March 1993. The LP was recorded at Little Mountain Sound Studios in Vancouver, Criteria Studios in Miami, Granny's House in Reno, Nevada and Abbey Road Studios, London. Recording commenced in the autumn of 1991 and concluded in early 1992. It was produced by Page, Coverdale and Canadian record producer, Mike Fraser. Coverdale-Page reached No. 4 in the UK and No. 5 on the US Billboard 200 chart. Coverdale–Page (stylised as Coverdale • Page) is a collaborative studio album by English singer David Coverdale and guitarist Jimmy Page. It was released on 15 March 1993 by EMI in Europe, 16 March by Geffen Records in North America and 18 March by Sony Music Entertainment in Japan. The album's production was handled by Coverdale, Page and Mike Fraser. Following the disbandment of Coverdale's band Whitesnake and a failed reunion attempt by Page's band Led Zeppelin, John Kalodner proposed the idea to Page of the musicians working together. After meeting each other, they began writing songs, which were then recorded over the course of 1991 and 1992.
