Album
Re-release of Gillan’s sixth solo album from 1991. The album was immediately recognized by the critics as Gillan’s return to the old Deep Purple sound, particularly comparable to the albums “In Rock” and “Machine Head”. The eerie 80’s-like production (courtesy of Chris Tsangarides) and the Randy Rhodes sounding guitars made up for a truly spectacular album. Some of the most prominent tracks from “Toolbox” are surely the opening rocker “Hang Me Out to Dry” (with brilliant performance by ex-Mountain guitarist Leslie West), the beautiful ballad “Don’t Hold Me Back” and “Pictures of Hell”, written by Gillan after his experiences of seeing the aftermath of the Armenian  Earthquake in 1989. The album is still considered as one of Gillan’s best efforts among his solo offerings. The new digipak edition is limited to 1000 copies. Digitally remastered using 24-Bit process, released on a golden disc.
