Comments:

From the introductory blurb in Best SF 4: Every so often, something gets mislaid in editorial offices. In this case a story wasn't published for years after it was bought. Hence we have a brand-new middle period Silverberg. Given the publication in New Worlds in 1961, I'm not entirely sure what this means (and even so, I'd call it the end of the early period).
