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