Sorry, but I have to borrow this excellent description from a prior seller:

"ABBREV'S - "Here Come the Abbrev's" in mono on American Division 1001. Private pressing by an excellent garage band from Rocky Mount, North Carolina. Released in 1966, they do 2 excellent originals and some fine covers. 10 vocals and 2 instrumentals. One of their originals, I Still Broke Her Heart, is a haunting mid-tempo song that has flourishes of psychedelia. Their other original, True Fine Lovin' is a blues rocker in the vein of Muddy Waters, Lightnin' Slim and Jimmy Reed. Excellent, amplified (near fuzz but not quite) guitar break on that one. They turn Blueberry Hill into a slow dance grinder of an instrumental, with lead Farfisa organ, very different than Fats' hit version. Four covers of Rolling Stones songs, some of the Stones' best. See full track list below. Members were Joe Morgan, Frank Joyner, Wally Overman, Terry Jernigan, Al Williams and Charley Joyner. According to the liner notes (written by Buddy Moore of WRMT), they formed in 1964, so they'd been together long enough to get it right in the studio and they did. 
Besides the two originals, the record contains a fairly typical repertoire of garage band classics. Louie Louie is in the vein of The Kingsmen's hit but, on the other hand, their version of Steppin' Out is more akin to the style of the early Yardbirds than Paul Revere and the Raiders. Tell Me is a emotive cover of the one of my favorite Rolling Stones songs while their cover of Satisfaction is over 4 minutes long. Their 3rd Stones cover is As Tears Go By, done in the style of the original. Wipe Out shows off their surf guitar chops very well. They also cover Arthur Alexander's You Better Move On and The House of the Rising Sun. The 12th track, The Last Time, is full of energy and swagger, a fine cover of another Stones' hit from the mid-60's."
