Pioneer is a good manufacturer...

This is an error at the layer above the audio sector. You may try to use:

cdrecord -noerror -edc-corr

and see whether readcd is able to do better corrections than the drive.

It may be that the firmware did not understand the media and used a wrong laser 
calibration for writing.

I recommend to use Verbatim media if you like to do archiving.

Note that piles of 50+ CDs may have worse media than thos up to 25 per package.

You can check this with cdrecord -v -atip 

verbatim e.g. sells cheap media from Moser Baer India (MBI) but still with 
better quality than MBI labelled media. Better verbatim media identify as 
Verbatim (DVDs and BluRays may use IDs from the business group).
