(idm) the sounds of snackwitches and mags our parents used

Bit of a subjective question, but can someone with a Gescom 2
("Snackwitch"/"Mag") tell me if it's supposed to sound really muffled,
with way too much bass and almost no high end at all, or do I just have a
dodgy copy?  It really sounds to my ears like I'm listening to it with a
pillow over the speaker, which is distressing since I love those two
tracks to death; at the same time, it seems possible that they were
recorded that way intentionally...
