Most CD's have a label side that consists of various forms of spray-on plastics (usually refered to as laquers, even though no uses the little ground up beetles anymore to make true laquer) and is directly on top of the aluminized layer. Then the "label" is printed on top of this with inks.

If the label seal is compromised, the aluminum could oxidize and essentially disintegrate, creating local pinholes of very little reflectivity.

In your instance, you found out that your label are used water soluble inks that were flaking off.
