Christian music record label (1982–1984)
Record label
Rooftop Records [ 1] was a Christian music record label, founded in 1982 by the Highway Missionary Society , the parent organization of the band Servant , and distributed by Benson Records . The label was formed to gain greater creative control for the band, as well as a vehicle to promote artists they believed in. Due to the financial stress of supporting Servant's "Great American Album Giveaway" tour, Benson dissolved the relationship, bringing an early end to the nascent label.
