Stull is the second extended play by the alternative rock band Urge Overkill. It was released in 1992 and would be the band's final major release on independent label Touch and Go Records. The EP's title is a reference to Stull Cemetery, located just west of Lawrence, Kansas. Since the 1970s, urban legends have been spread that the cemetery is one of the seven portals to Hell. Stull also includes a cover of Neil Diamond's song "Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon", which would later be re-released on the soundtrack to Quentin Tarantino's 1994 film Pulp Fiction. Upon re-issue, Urge Overkill's version of "Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon" charted at number 59 on the Billboard Hot 100. The Stull EP received largely positive reviews from critics, with Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic and Johan Kugelberg of Spin both complimenting the record.
Stull contains two cover songs, the first of which is "Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon", which was originally penned by Neil Diamond. According to the band's bassist and vocalist Eddie "King" Roeser, the group's decision to record the cover was "spur-of-the-moment" Two years after the song was issued on Stull, it was re-released on the soundtrack to Quentin Tarantino's 1994 film Pulp Fiction. In an interview with Billboard magazine, Roeser explained: "Apparently, Quentin [Tarantino] was familiar with us, and he picks all the songs for his movies. He discussed it with Uma Thurman, who dances to the song in the movie, and she's like, 'I love it.'" The song was a hit for the band, and charted at number 59 on the Billboard Hot 100. The EP's second cover song is "Stitches", which was originally written and recorded by the punk band the Alan Milman Sect in 1977.
