Encontrei uma Record Collector de 1998 que publica uma interessante discografia sobre as participações de Jimmy Page.

Mas avisa:

01 - Não há garantia de que Jimmy Page tenha participado em todos estes discos. Na verdade, quase de certeza que não. E ele também não tem a certeza. Nem ninguém. Nem nós.

02 - Ambos os lados dos singles foram listados, embora nalguns casos, Page só tenha participado num dos lados. Qual deles? Perguntem-lhe.

03 - A participação de Page nestas gravações nem sempre é tão essencial como se julga. Por exemplo, há solos fantásticos de guitarra em "Hold Me", de PJ Proby, e "It's Not Unsual", de Tom Jones. Page toca em ambas, mas os solos são de Big Jim Sullivan. Provavelmente.

04 - Não gastem uma fortuna na presunção de que Jimmy Page participou em todo o stonking freakbeat classic. O seu nome tem sido ligado a praticamente tudo o que de bom foi feito nos 60s. Ele foi (é), de facto, um génio, mas nem um génio consegue ficar acordado dias e noites a fio.

A revista lista depois 132 singles e 31 LPs onde se presume que Jimmy Page tenha participado. Eu selecciono apenas alguns:
