Ups & Downs: Early Recordings and B-Sides is a B-Side compilation album by Saves the Day, released on Vagrant Records on August 24, 2004.

As the title suggests, it is a compilation of early recordings and B-sides, recorded between 1997 when they were known as Sefler to the live reworking of "Jessie & My Whetstone" in 2003. The compilation also includes the entire I'm Sorry I'm Leaving, remastered and without the Modern English cover, " I Melt with You", as well as for the first time on CD, the EP's vinyl-only track "The Way His Collar Falls".
