First start with a great mix. A good mix will translate on any platform. Specific Vinyl mastering techniques include special attention to bass, sibilance and high frequencies. #ASkCBCMusic
For bass frequencies, everything under 250Hz or so should be mono. Sibilance needs to be well under control. What is mildly annoying in digital can translate to very very distorted and harsh on vinyl.
And similarly high frequecies need to be tamed. Also the often highly compressed / loud masters that are often used for Digital should be avoided. Dynamic Range is your friend for vinyl.
And lastly, you might want to consider using a professional mastering engineer for your vinyl masters. It is a tricky business getting it just right. And always get a test pressing to make sure you got it right. Nothing worse than finding out too late with 1000 pressed records.

Photograph went double platinum in the U.S. and hit No. 1 all over the world. Not bad for a song that, Chad Kroeger told us in 2017, is about “nostalgia” for growing up in the small town of Hannah, Alberta. “You can't go back to your childhood," he said.
The first line Kroeger wrote for the song also ended up being the song's iconic first line.
"The photograph I'm holding in the music video is the photograph," he says.
