Definitely the Marine Girls.  You can get their two albums, Beach  
Party and Lazy Ways, on one CD.  It's easily available from what I can  
see.

Also Weekend, the band Alison Statton formed after YMG's breakup -  
Cherry Red just reissued their La Variete LP from 1982.

On the more obscure tip, there's an amazing EP by Instant Music that I  
found online several months back.  I wish I knew more about them, but  
they're like YMG with a more overt electropop bent.  You can download  
it here:

Happy listening,
