Bruce covers The Zoo

I did a search for this on the forum and didn't find much mention of it.  I ran across Bruce covering The Zoo by the Scorpions on YouTube a few weeks ago.  It sounds awesome.  Much edgier and dirtier sounding than the original.  Anyone have any additional info on this for us?  Mainly curious what it was recorded for and if a quality audio version of it exists somewhere.  I looked on ITunes and couldn't find it.  Perhaps some additional info would aid in locating it on ITunes. 
 
The song was part of a compilation-CD, Extreme Championchip Wrestling Compilation "Extreme Music" (1998)

On October 27th 1998 Slab Recordings/CMC International released a compilation-CD with contemporary top hard rock/heavy metal artists covering different metal-classics. The record was tied into ECW (Extreme Championship Wrestling) and the songs on it was supposed to become the theme songs for many of the ECW "stars"

On this album Bruce covers Scorpion's "The Zoo" which can be found on their "Animal Magnetism" album from 1978.

He is accompanied by Roy Z who plays guitar and bass, while the drums are made on a drum machine. It's interesting to note that Bruce either has made some new lyrics or he just didn't know the original lyrics because some lines are right out. The track was recorded at Silver Cloud studios, CA, and mixed by Roy Z splitting the mixing credits with Joe Floyd.

Released in the US by CMC international (CMC 06706-86262-2).

The European release has a different sleeve to the US release and feature slightly different bands.
