Misty Regan's scene was removed because she turned 18 the year this film was released, and Misty may have been underage when filming took place. See my notes below for more info.
My own rip from the (now out of print) Caballero DVD, which I encoded back in 2007. This was posted far and wide well before it was discovered that Misty Regan may have been underage, and later the posts and torrents were removed. After receiving many requests, I finally edited out her scene (about 8 minutes) and uploaded the edited version to share.

My notes
It's really a shame to have to censor this film and remove a scene, but the film is still worth watching despite the cutting.
I'm a big fan of the director, Alan Vydra, who shot a half dozen adult films in and around San Francisco (including this one) in the early to mid 1980s. Vydra shot most of his films in Europe, and he eventually became the in-house director/producer for Beate Uhse, with his own state of the art recording studios in Hamburg.
Because Vydra was based in Germany, and he did all of his editing and post-production work there -- and because like so many porn producers, he did not record live sound while filming -- all of the voices in the movie are dubbed. The only voices that actually match the original performers are Annette Haven's and Jesie St. James'. I always wondered about this, but it wasn't until recently, when I rewatched another Vydra film, Crazy Girls (aka Teenager in Love), which also features Annette and Jesie among a mostly European cast, that it dawned on me. The two American actresses went to Paris to shoot Crazy Girls on location, and my guess is that while they were in Europe, Vydra probably brought them into a recording studio and taped their voiceovers for the American release of Sound of Love. The timing seems right, anyway, when you compare the release dates.
Loni Sanders, on the other hand, is given an awful, gravelly voiceover that sounds nothing like her own sweet voice.
The sex scenes make up for it, however.
Vydra had a knack for making erotica that bends the rules and pushes the envelope just a bit further than most of his contemporaries, and the results are interesting, entertaining and exciting.
I just listened to the directors' commentary on the 25th Anniversary edition of Taboo, and Kirdy Stevens mentions how in the early 1980s, it was still easy to find pretty young women in San Francisco who wanted to try doing a porno. He said many were willing to appear once or twice having sex on camera, but most of them disappeared after that.
The three girls who appear in Scene 6 were apparently just what Kirdy described. Only one of them appeared in any other porn AFAIK, and she (Debbie) was in only one other movie, according to iafd (a non-sex role in another Vydra movie.) Their scene is a rarity and quite sexy IMO.
Trivia: the house where Mike Horner's character lives (with the three one-timers) also appears in Shawn Costello's film Beauty, shot around the same time, and starring Loni Sanders. Costello talked about the making of that movie at avmaniacs, and he said some surprisingly unkind things about Loni, whom he called "Jenny Wren" (her real name?) It's interesting that among the cast list at imdb for Sound of Love, they list a "Ginny Wren".
