"I opened it in Sound Forge to have a look. At least 50% of the mix must have been in the red when it was recorded."
..just to repeat what a few people have said - this almost certainly will not be clipping, just heavy compressing. As a test, open up any commercial recording in SoundForge and it will look the same. The more radio friendly/commercial the track, the more compressed it will be. Its only artists on the fringes that would ever dare not to compress the hell out of their tracks. Obviously this does not account for why it should sounds rough. If you have any other tracks on other CDs/records, maybe try comparing them.. Good luck..
