First heard this song covered by The Bangles, which led me to the original:


Just awesome. I loved that it rocked just a bit harder than most girl groups—a little more garage. Hearing more on YouTube showed me their range.

Sadly, I do not seem to be able to find ANY collection of theirs out there ANYWHERE, just a song here and there, but really nothing to GET. Just the YouTubes:




Do any of you have their singles collected anywhere? Care to hit me up with the info? Thanks!

The youtube comments provide a little more insight. For example, "Sweet and Tender Romance" itself is a cover (of Carter Lewis & The Southerners).

Also: One of the best British Girl Groups of The Sixties was The McKinleys.They were Jeanette and Sheila McKinley who came from Edinburgh and recorded 1 single for Parlophone and 3 for Columbia,'Give Him My Love ' being their final offering in 1965.It apparently featured the talents Donovan,Clem Cattini,Liqorice Locking and Perry Ford of The Ivy League on backing duties.

Discogs doesn't have much either:

Yeah, I saw those comments. I was just hoping that my friends here might know something about a little more.
Hoping for more.
Bummer.

Just made this YouTube playlist.
The McKinleys: A Playlist

And found these couple of songs on Spotify:
https://play.spotify.com/album/3VBpdmOrYOatVVw49gdgK8
(Which I just picked up via iTunes)

But that's all I can find.
Anyone else got any leads on other songs?
