Dave: Do you mean the "set" tunes - ones which were compulsory for every competitor? Goodness knows what I said 15 years ago - I'm having trouble with 15 minutes ago! Not all competitions had set tunes, and even for those that did, I think there's unlikely to be a continuous record. I doubt if there's even a record of whether they had set tunes or not at different venues. Finding the info for the NPS comps would entail reading through the last 50 years of minutes and seeing how many years the discussions include a record of set tunes. Free choice comps would be down to individuals who've jotted this info down pooling their resources to get some sort of record, which is a tall order. But if anyone wants to take it on......
