range_hood - I am glad you took those spectral fingerprints and started that topic on the whoweeds series:

Those pictures speak a thousand words, especially if you know how to read them.
In cases where you can never get "true" lineage all the way back to the source (regardless of whether is it is lineage lost or dubious), I do not think including them in the master database would be overkill. This, of course, includes all bootleg copies by default (are there any bootlegs truly "straight from the Masters"? I've never seen such).
Are the whoweeds series really "best circulating sources"? I could quickly check my tapes against the spectral prints you posted , using "Sound Frequency Analyzer" and a cable from my deck to my computer. It would be very easy to see if my tapes have the same agressive NR as on some of those shows, given the prints you made.
I am going to include your prints in my show documentation, and append the directories like *_WhoWeeds.shnf
