Toolbox is the second solo album by Ian Gillan originally released only in Europe, Japan and Brazil on German label EastWest. It was Gillan's last album before his second comeback with Deep Purple in August 1992. The subsequent mammoth 10-month tour, which crossed Europe and South America, proved Ian Gillan to be a strong live attraction. Although Toolbox wasn't a big commercial success it is considered by many as one of Gillan's finest records. The album was finally released domestically in the USA in 1998.
