Coverdale-Page (sometimes written Coverdale • Page) was a collaboration band featuring Whitesnake lead vocalist David Coverdale, and former Led Zeppelin and The Firm guitarist Jimmy Page. The partnership between the two artists commenced in 1991 and resulted in an album, Coverdale-Page, in 1993. They also released five singles: 'Pride and Joy', 'Shake My Tree', 'Take Me for a Little While', 'Take a Look at Yourself' and 'Over Now'.

This studio album marked a return to commercial success for Page since his days with Led Zeppelin. Rumours emerged that Coverdale and Page would be joined by John Paul Jones and Jason Bonham in a reformed Led Zeppelin, but this did not pan out. The duo's touring band consisted of Guy Pratt on bass guitar, Denny Carmassi on drums, and Brett Tuggle on keyboards. However, after a series of concerts in Japan, sluggish tickets sales for a subsequent world tour resulted in the partnership being dissolved. Page subsequently teamed up with Plant for an 'UnLedded' MTV project and Coverdale re-appeared from time to time with different Whitesnake line-ups.
