I'd be hard pressed to believe anyone is releasing professionally pressed CDs from master recordings that clip. I've also not heard a recording that sounded worse after peak normalizing to 0db. That'll give you good dynamic range, but won't ever clip. Some of the newer all-digital gear doesn't have as much headroom as the old analog gear, but you also don't have to push the levels as hard to get a clean recording.
