Depends on the transfer.
(Very) early 'Tulips' with 'LAB' in the deadwax can be remarkably fine (ie: 1958 Schubert Lieder/Seefried SLPM 136009; as did a 1959 Bartok Bluebeard SLPM 138030 transfer) but, through the 60's, they can sound (very) inferior indeed due to damped dynamics + limited HF giving an added sense of 'distortion'.
Some early '80's can sound filtered compared to a mid-'70's of the same, whilst a digital remaster can sound excellent (Mozart 4 Horn C/Karajan); so there's really little consistency...and a label only really lusted-after by oriental fetishists/asset strippers (Mravinsky/Schneiderhan/Fournier..et al).
