Tyscot Records is an independent American gospel music record label based in Indianapolis, Indiana. Tyscot Records was founded by Craig Tyson and Dr. Leonard Scott in 1976 in order to record their church choir, Christ Church Apostolic Radio Choir. The company faced a severe crisis in 1993 when their distributor, Spectra filed for bankruptcy and left owing Tyscot Records over a ½ million dollars that had been generated from the sale of its products. This meant, in turn, that Tyscot Records would not be able to pay its artists or their bills.
