Peel never played any of White Town's other material until 1996, when listeners voted 'Your Woman' in the 1996 Festive Fifty reaching number 31. A month after the Festive Fifty, the track peaked number 1 in the UK Singles Chart. White Town never had any success in the UK Top 40 Singles Chart after 'Your Woman'.

'Your Woman' sampled Nat Gonella's trumpet solo from 'My Woman' by Lew Stone's Monseigneur Band featuring singer Al Bowlly, a record made in 1932. Although Peel never played the track, other items by Bowlly with Stone's band were included in the Pig's Big 78 feature of his shows.
