TAKE ME TO YOUR SEA

AND POUR YOUR OCEAN
OVER ME
Coverdale–Page
(stylized as Coverdale • Page)
is a collaborative
studio album
by English singer
and guitarist
It was released on
March,15th 1993
by EMI
in Europe,
March,16th 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
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.
Critical reception towards
Coverdale–Page
was generally mixed;
some music critics
praised
Coverdale and Page's partnership
as a successful blend
of both their
respective bands.
However,
others viewed the collaboration
as a second-rate
Led Zeppelin,
with many drawing
unfavorable comparisons
between
Coverdale and Robert Plant.
The album charted in
12 countries,
including reaching
number four
in the UK
and number five
in the US.
It was
certified platinum
in the US
and Canada,
respectively. Following
a short Japanese tour
in December 1993,
Coverdale and Page
parted ways.
A reissue
is in the works,
while
Coverdale and Page
have also discussed
a potential reunion.
