Coverdale/Page, the 1993 album that brought together Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page with Whitesnake frontman David Coverdale, could be getting a box set at some point in the future.
Coverdale talked about the possibility on Eddie Trunk's SiriusXM radio show, which you hear below.
The singer said discussions started just before Christmas, when Coverdale invited his new team at Warner Bros. to his studio in Reno to discuss plans, and the label president brought up the idea of remixing the album.
Coverdale was all for it, but with Whitesnake hoping to get out their new album, Flesh and Blood, in time for their upcoming summer tour with Foreigner and Jason Bonham, there was only a brief window to work on it. "At that time, I thought March-April-May, Jimmy and I could remix it and mix the unreleased songs that we had," he explained. "Because we had four or five extra songs."
You can hear the interview below.

Still, Coverdale said there were snags. "You're talking about synchronicity or good planning on the part of Warners," he noted. "The president of Warners U.K. was entertaining Jimmy at dinner or lunch and said, 'Hey, how would you fancy about revisiting the Coverdale/Page project?' And he went, 'I'll call Dave right now!' And I said to this guy, 'I'll call Jimmy right now.' It was the funniest shit."
In addition to the unreleased songs, Coverdale hinted at the possibility of a documentary being part of a box set. "I filmed the whole process from the first day Jimmy and I sat down to write music at my house in Lake Tahoe," he said. "So there's enough stuff to make it a really interesting package for the fans."
Shortly after meeting with the label, Coverdale got sick, which pushed back the remaining work on Flesh and Blood and shut the window on future projects for now. Because of Page's work on a new Led Zeppelin archival live project, Coverdale can't give a definite time frame in which the new package will arrive.
"We're definitely, when we can, when we both have the time, we will be remixing and adding," he said, adding with a laugh, "Don't be inundating with when! I don't know. When I have time."
Everyone has a plan, till you get punched in the face,
I'd buy it for sure
Bring it! Page’s best work on guitar post-Zepp, IMO. It would be cool to get some live stuff.
Does Coverdale have any hint of a voice at this point in his career? Seriously....I occasionally catch an early 2000's White Snake concert on the the old Paladia Channel (Now MTV Live) and, ah, well, he's not good in my opinion. That was filmed nearly 10 years ago I believe so I can't imagine what he sounds like now. Anyone heard him live recently? Just curious...

coverdale has a fine lower bluesy voice still. sadly he still wants to scream at the top of his lungs which is pretty much shot now

So a lot like David Lee Roth? Only Coverdale actually sings and sticks to the original melody of the songs as best as possible?
Interesting in that of all these "screamers in their youth", for lack of a better description, Robert Plant seems to be the only one who has mastered singing with the voice he now has. That is too say singing songs differently or in a more appropriate registry for their older voice as well as writing new songs with their current actual vocal abilities in mind.

his voice is much better than DLRs lol.
I like plants voice now but lets be honest he stopped trying to scream when he went solo.
btw steven tyler can still scream and sing fine so not every old screamer has trailed off
Plant will save his voice for a few times during a show where he will go for a high note, rather than constantly aiming at the high notes and missing. When he does go for it, he hits it.
I really do not know why more of these singers do not follow his lead.

Good question.....I think Roth, who was never very consistent live, is just such a quirky goofball these days he really doesn't care. Which is a shame as I suspect he could pull off a better live performance if he'd find a more appropriate register and actually make a real effort at working on his craft. Not too mention I understand he still smokes like a chimney...That can't be good for a 60+ year old voice.

Yeah,I agree. I like Dave for who he is and what he does onstage,maybe just tighten things up just a little and he would be fine.
