Newly released by Plexifilm, the award-winning film and the classic album that inspired it all!

In 1977, Gary Wilson recorded his bizarrely brilliant album, YOU THINK YOU REALLY KNOW ME. In performance, he played his jazz/rock/sound-collage masterpieces while clad in just his underwear, or wrapped in duct tape, writhing on stage and destroying female mannequins. Then, suddenly, he simply vanished - leaving friends and fans mystified. This documentary explores the life, disappearance and re-birth of a funny and fierce American original.

“Indie-rock enthusiasts will find much to appreciate. Gary Wilson and the Blind Dates, as his band was known, do for used-record stores what R. Crumb and Harvey Pekar do for used comic-book stores.”
- The New York Times

“A film that is as informative, complete, and seductive as a great Ken Burns work.”
