An information recording medium, such as a disc, is provided from which
data can be read in a stable fashion even when a label for the
information recording medium is adhered thereon. A label is partially
attached to the information recording member in which an information
recording layer is formed on a substrate, on a label surface opposite the
substrate. The so-called partial attachment involves attaching the label
to the disc at only a few selected points and not to the entire disc
surface.
