I had three choices: accept an imperfect rip in my archives, hope to find another copy some day that would rip successfully (unlikely), or somehow regenerate the original audio data from my corrupt copies. This didn't seem to be an issue of wear or damage – the CD itself was probably defective from the factory. It arrived on Friday, I immediately tried to rip it, and hit the exact same error. I shelved it and kept on the lookout for another copy, which I located last month. This sort of thing is common when buying used CDs, especially if they need to transit a USPS international shipping center. Recent advances in international parcel forwarding technology let me buy a used copy last year, but when it arrived none of my CD drives could read track #3. I discovered it in 2008 (probably on YouTube), downloaded the best copy I could find, and filed it away in the TODO list. The piano arrangement album 帰るべき城 by Altneuland was published in 2005.
I got a perfect rip by upgrading to a "two-sheep" CD drive.

UPDATE (): See the follow-up post Error Beneath the WAVs for more info about what exactly is wrong with my discs, and info about which CD drives are capable of reading them. It is very challenging if the CDs have an innate defect that renders some tracks unreadable. This is sometimes challenging if the CD was self-published in a limited run in a foreign country ten years ago. I collect music by buying physical CDs, digitizing them with Exact Audio Copy, and scanning the artwork.
