Pull was the third album by American glam metal band Winger. The album was released in 1993 by Atlantic Records.

It was produced by Mike Shipley on a considerable budget and marked a significant change in Winger's sound, introducing a harder and more aggressive style of music than on the two previous albums. The material was also less commercial and radio friendly.

The album is often regarded as the favourite among the group's fans, but in terms of sales figures the album was not as successful as the two first albums, peaking at #83 on Billboard's Album chart.

Pull was recorded by Winger as a trio, as guitarist/keyboardist Paul Taylor left the band after the In the Heart of the Young tour.

A bonus track called "Hell To Pay" was available on the Japanese version of the album.

[edit] Miscellanea

At least two more songs were written for the album, but the band chose not to include "Without Warning" and "Written in the Wind" because they sounded too much like the material from the two first Winger albums. In 2003 both songs re-emerged on a self-titled album by Khymera.
