Did Jimmy Page play on Donovans Hurdy Gurdy Man?
Not on the title track, but he did play acoustic during the early album sessions. The Hurdy Gurdy Man album sessions were done mainly in two parts, the first part in late 1967, the second sessions where done in April 1968. It was during the April 1968 sessions that the actual track 'Hurdy Gurdy Man' was recorded. Jimmy Page was not in the country at the time of the April 1968 session. Page had only been playing acoustic in his session work at the time. Steve Rosen interview with Jimmy Page SR You were playing acoustic guitar during your session period? JP Yes, I had to do it on studio work. And you come to grips with it very quickly too, very quickly, because it's what is expected. There was a lot of busking (singing on street corners) in the earlier days, but as they say, I had to come to grips with it, and it was a good schooling.
Donovan stated that he wanted Jimi Hendrix to play but he was unavailable, so he asked for Jimmy Page instead but he was in the US with Jerry Wrexler .Mickie Most got Jeff Beck to do the electric guitar work which was wiped by Most. Finally Alan Parker was drafted in to do the electric guitar work. http://www.zepagain.com/page_rosen.html Regarding the title track those involved are listed below.

Page may have played on several songs by Donovan such as "Sunshine
Superman" although the long held belief that Jimmy played on
"HurdyGurdyMan" has been questioned recently, with the
contention that it is in fact Allan Holdsworth, and not Page.
Jones on the other hand, who most certainly did work on the track
says it was Alan Parker. Donovan in a radio interview in 1988 on
KCRW in Santa Monica, said that it was Holdsworth not Page, as
they tried to get Page but he was unavailable, and tried out a new
young guy, Holdsworth, instead. An answer to this perplexing
question that could be seen as definitive came from Allan's wife
Claire, when she was asked this by a member of the Allan
Holdsworth mailing list. The response she gave was (included
without permission), "Allan is bemused by the number of people,
including Donovan, who have said that he played on that song -
because he didn't!! He thinks it might have been Ollie Halsell
but he is dead now so I guess we can't ask him." Page, who denies
playing on it claimed in a 1977 interview that it was Alan Parker.
To confuse matters further, in the liner notes for Donovan's
"Trouabdour" box set it claims Page played on the trackhttp://www.oldbuckeye.com/ifmtl2.html
Beck originally played on Donovan's "Hurdy Gurdy Man" but instead they used Alan Parker on the final version

I was friendly with Geraldine Edwards back in the seventies and attended a few concerts with her. Eventually most groupies mature and move on to a different lifestyle as I did, but we sure still remember some of our high-spirited antics from our teens and distant past. In Almost Famous Penny Lane aka Geraldine Edwards refers to groupies as "band-aids." Geraldine and her group, of which I was one, more often referred to ourselves as "the ladies." We were fully aware that the world saw us as groupies, but the way Geraldine and her group of ladies saw it, we were availing ourselves of a once-in-a-lifetime golden opportunity few young women would have turned down. Sure, we were there to meet musicians we were interested in, but we were also there for the aggregete experience which encompassed a rather large range. Geraldine and her group sometimes referred to themselves, myself included, as groupies but we always qualified how we interpreted the meaning. More often we did refer to ourselves as the ladies. We felt we had a standard to uphold and did our best, considering the incredible circumstances.
Now that I've attached my C.V., I will answer the question asked. Yes, Geraldine Edwards did meet Jimmy Page, in 1974, when she was seventeen years old. I and two other friends went back stage with Geraldine to a Led Zepplin concert taking place at the then San Diego Sports Arena. We managed to meet the entire band, two of our group having met them on a previous occasion. I do recall that Jimmy Page was very friendly to Geraldine as was Robert Plant. I must say here that although Geraldine's great-grandfather Aleister Crowley was a popular cult figure and icon to many musicians, not only Jimmy Page, Geraldine did not use her relationship with him as a calling card. The woman always operated on her own merits as she is still doing today. Only her close friends knew of the relationship.
Although people have heard horror stories about Led Zepplin and their behavior on the road, the stories are highly overated. From what I recall, they behaved a lot better than many musicians did that visited San Diego. I spent most of my time that evening with John Bonham and Geraldine split her time between Jimmy Page and Robert Plant. Robert Plant was very interested in Geraldine and she enjoyed talking to him, but when he told her their plane was given permission to depart Brown Field, and told her to get ready to go with him, she demurred. He was a tiny bit upset, and did ask her why she was going backstage in the first place if she did not want to date musicians. She politely told him that she went backstage for the excitement, the music, and the experience. She honestly told him too that if she felt there was a connection between herself and a musician she met that she would date them. She was not trying to come off as an innocent, because she was not. None of us were. But to clairify, a lot of people think that any groupie was available to any musician. Not true. We picked who we were interested in like any other woman would. Robert Plant respected Geraldine for what she had said, and apologized for the outburst, even lending her his limosuine to take her home in style. It was actually cute. Robert Plant kissed Geraldine on the forhead, which was visually amusing. Robert Plant is 6'4 and Geraldine is 5'4. Then he told her to "stay out of trouble." Quite a few people got a chuckle out of that. That evening, I went to Los Angeles with John Bonham. I never regretted those years.
Geraldine did meet Jimmy Page though, and I recall her telling me that she found him to be both intelligent, well-mannered, and open-minded, and that she enjoyed their meeting.
