Sheet One is the second studio album by Canadian electronic music producer Richie Hawtin, and his debut studio album under the alias Plastikman. It was released in 1993 by Novamute Records.
Artwork
The front inlay of Sheet One was perforated, giving it the look of a wall of LSD tabs. The cover was so realistic that a man in Texas was arrested when a police officer saw the CD on his car seat after pulling him over on a traffic violation in 1994.{{cite press release|url=http://music.hyperreal.org/library/publicity/plastikman/sheet_one_arrest|title=Plastikman's Sheet One A Case of Mistaken Identity|publisher=Novamute Records|date=1994|accessdate=January 18, 2018}}
