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,
