As I understand it Satan's Baby Doll was shot with XXX scenes from the outset, as opposed to the usual inserts hack job that these kinds of films were sometimes lumbered with in order to appeal to different markets.
Since you have films such as Caligula available uncut on DVD in the UK, and therefore sanctioned by the BBFC, featuring scenes of hardcore sex it seems reasonable that this film should be made available in that format also. Having said that, I think that to increase that chances of that happening the film should be submitted to the board with the Italian language track. Foreign language films are always given more leeway than their English language counterparts, due to the age old class snobbery of the BBFC. Mind you, having said all that, films such as Caligula and 9 Songs are English language speaking.
It would be good to see the full length XXX cut of the film on DVD, as per the German DVD, but in an English friendly format.
