I'm not sure if I understand your question correctly, but if you apply an effect and you don't like the result, the you "undo" it (Edit menu > Undo).

The samples make it clear.
The problem is that the volume level is far too high.

With digital audio, there is an absolute maximum level for how big a signal level can be.

If you measure something on a range of "0 to one hundred", then you can't have something that is "one hundred and five", because 105 is off the scale.

In Audacity, you will see that there is a vertical scale that goes from "+1 to -1". If we look at a picture of a section of your music samples we can see that the sound is trying to go way over the top and bottom of the scale, but they can't. The result is the distortion that you can hear in the samples.

Unfortunately, this recording is so badly damaged that it is beyond repair, so I hope that you still have the original.

So I presume that the problem happened after you added some bass boost?
Sometimes it is necessary to reduce the level of a track using a negative amount on the "Amplify" effect, in order to leave room for the waveform to get bigger when you want to apply another effect.
