It was certainly released as a double album of Elvis covers around
about 1990, I think, and was an NME project, so it might not have
been released outside of Britain. The Lemmy tracks were officially
credited to "Lemmy & the Upsetters with Mick Green". I'd be highly
surprised if the album is still in print, though  copies of _The Best
of Lemmy_ are probably still floating around. I think besides the
Upsetters tracks and the one Jarvinen Band track, there's not much on
that that isn't available elsewhere.

Cheers,
Carl
