Some vocal artists are better than others at avoiding this. Microphones pick it up. In normal situations this is attentuated (high frequencies attenuate faster than low) so you don't notice sibilance.
A sibilant sound will make it feel like that artist is standing closer to you. It can get annoying.
A good system with a clean source will pick sibilance up more than a dirty source. Imagine your LP has dust and grime from being years old. This debris will not affect low frequencies but will dampen high frequencies. After a while you get use to how it sounds and the tone ddown high frequencies sound correct to your ears. When you clean the LP and remove dust and dirt and debris then asll of sudden you hear high frequencies again... all that original sibilance in the recording comes back.
A 3db notch filter centered 7 Khz will help if you don't like the new sound... if you have a PEQ you can play with the Q unitil you get it right. A cleaned LP is probably closer to how the LP sounded when new anyway - so give it some time and you may get used to it.
